Is Whisenhunt still considered the second-best prospect in the system? If the Giants decide to trade him one-for-one to address needs at the major league level, what are some of the players we can expect as return?
Hi Roger. Is it time for Richmond to move Mercedes to the bullpen? Seems to be getting hit hard as a starter and a move might give him chance to get his stuff back together.
Can you give us some details on Shane Rademacher's stuff and scouting report? Are there any other players, who were not on your top 50 list, that are having strong starts to the year and could be moving up lists?
When Jerar Encarnacion is ready to be activated to the major league club, who will be sent down/released? Is LaMonte Wade, Jr. is in any danger of being that player? His contributions have been minimal so far, but Encarnacion is perhaps more suited to a DH role than 1B. If not him, then who? Villar? Koss? Wisely? [and thanks, BTW, for your detailed analysis and familiarity with all aspects of the Giants system - you are amazingly knowledgeable.]
When will we start to see the first rounds of player movement and promotions within the farm system?
Looks like Bo Davidson's doing really well at Eugene, so I'm excited to see if/when he could make the bump up to AA.

Looks like you can probably ignore this one now, Roger...
Ha! Looks like you called it!
Can you explain the 40-man roster (and player options and DFA’s), and how that affects decisions about promotions?

Wade doesn't have options left so he can't be optioned. I can't image the Giants would just DFA him.
Gotta feel it'll be Villar. DFA'd already and not really played much since recalled.
