There R Giants Pod-123 with Jim Callis

I’m joined this week by the great Jim Callis, lead prospect writer for MLB, to talk about MLB’s brand new prospect rankings list for the Giants’ system. Jim has been handling the Giants’ system for years, and his knowledge of their player development system is as extensive as anybody in the industry! Plus, he’s a great guest and always fun to talk to.

You can find MLB’s Giants’ rankings on the MLB Pipeline website as well as Jim’s overview of the system, leapers and fallers, best tools, and more. You can follow Jim’s work on twitter @jimcallisMLB. And you can follow my work @rog61.

And, of course, if you want more There R Giants’ content, become a subscriber and you’ll get daily reports from the farm system starting in just over a week! I’ll be out at Papago Park for the final two weeks of spring camp bringing you player interviews, video, and plenty of scouting observations. So now’s a great time to become a There R Giants’ subscriber.
