Henderson | Getty Images Today’s There R Giants post is a free for all — there won’t be too many of these this winter, so if you enjoy it, why not subscribe for more There R Giants content? We interrupt our regularly scheduled Top 50 roll out for a brief diversion into this week’s transactions wire. We may or may not have a big league Rule 5 draft this year (that’s still TBD once the CBA situation is settled), but we did get the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft this week and the Giants were actually major players, so let’s check out all the comings (few) and goings (many!).
I'm quite baffled by the Duplantier situation. I generally defend the FO and while I'm not bashing them here I'm certainly left with questions as to how this was handled.
"the Giants lost six players from their organization on Wednesday — the highest total that any team lost in this year’s draft. This is yet another data point speaking to the increasing depth of the Giants organization" the key line for me. Yes, the Giants minor league system is rich and getting richer (no doubt!)
And my guess for the next name on the top fifty, is one of those guys with the initials 'AA'.
