Lip Man 1 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I guess Hahn had to do something to justify the expense of flying out for the meetings to JR. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 lotta players picked this year. I think teams finally realized the penalty is...not very exorbitant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Never been above AA, only 27 innings at AA, but had a 1.33 ERA at AA last year. 25 years old. Big leagues would be a jump for him but maybe worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Just now, bmags said: lotta players picked this year. I think teams finally realized the penalty is...not very exorbitant. seemed to me like there was just a gentleman's agreement not to select anyone (which the union wouldn't be happy about) considering it cost $50k and you get half the money back if the player is returned. (it's now $100k/$50k under the new CBA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Not much info on Avila, but I’ll take it. Cheap arm with some upside to possibly eat some innings in the 5th/6th inning…the Ruiz role. Looks like he was tried as a starter at 1 point, so even with the lack of innings so far I imagine he’s got some ability to stretch out and throw multiple innings. “A Modesto native, Avila has been a breakout reliever prospect this season. After starting the year at High-A, Avila earned a promotion to Double-A and he has been even more effective for Richmond. Between both levels, Avila is sporting an incredible 0.79 ERA with 50 strikeouts (13 walks) and 13 saves in 45.1 innings (40 appearances). Avila features multiple fastballs that hover in the mid-90s alongside an eclectic assortment of breaking balls that have done an excellent job keeping opposing hitters off balance. He was selected as the best reliever in the Northwest League by Baseball America and will likely need to be added to the Giants 40-man roster this offseason. Otherwise, another team would likely select him in the Rule 5 draft.” https://www.si.com/mlb/giants/.amp/prospects/sf-giants-prospects-casey-schmitt-nick-swiney-baseball-america-tools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Sounds like a great gamble and the Katz connection is golden. Makes me wonder if ReyLo could be a trade chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 A cheap arm with potential. I made fun of Hahn in the other thread, but I kinda like it now. Now go solve LH OF... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like that he's a strike-thrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d think he’d be competing for a final roster spot rather than usurping a valuable member of the staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Alright competition for a long-relief role. Does Lambert still have options? If so, having him in AAA as SP depths at least helps, even if he's like #7 on the depth chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Ruiz makes the big league roster, Lambert is presumably #8 on the depth chart. Hendriks/Lopez/Graveman/Kelly/Bummer/Diekman/Ruiz (that's 7). Lambert with options is 8, this guy has a spot if: someone gets hurt, Someone gets traded or they carry an 8 man pen to open the season or they move on from Ruiz, pretty sure that arbitration deals aren't guaranteed so it could be this guy vs. Ruiz Bummer I believe technically has an option also. Obviously Crochet will fit into the mix at some point, but July 1 would still be fast compared to a lot of TJS guys, so I fully expect them to try to have him around in May or June because that's how they act.
