As the handbook points out, the Giants haven't developed an everyday position player since the 1993 draft (Chris Singleton and Bill Mueller).


sorry - i know you want to forget but you forgot about marvin..... ;)

And for gawd sakes, I want to see some international signings! I'm sick of reading about who the other teams in our division are signing (especially the Dodgers and Rockies, and lately -- the Padres) on the international front. I'd be happy if Magowan took some of that magic Maddux money and stuck it to scouting. Not only for signings, but beefed-up personnel internationally. Feret out the Japanese talent. Find the hidden guys in Taiwan and South Korea. Build a greater presence in South America. Find the talent, dammit!


AMEN dave!! although we have probably missed the boat on the asian talent, we may have to wait until there is an international draft before we can get anybody....

and i'm also hurting over the fact that we didn't sign Kaz Matsui - reports on his hard work ethic and talent is already filtering into the MLB sites - i think it is going to be obvious that the Mets' double play combination may be something real special......

Thanx for the reports!!
