Sandoval Agrees to 3-Year Extension -- Details Here



Sandoval Agrees to 3-Year Extension -- Details Here:


The Giants and Pablo Sandoval have agreed to a three-year extension, Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle tweets. The deal is worth $17.15MM plus incentives, Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News tweets. Morgan Advisory Group represents the 25-year-old third baseman.



Sandoval, who was arbitration eligible for the first time this offseason, had a projected $3.2MM salary for 2012 and would have been in line for raises in 2013 and 2014 via the arbitration process. The deal doesn't delay his free agency -- he's still on track to hit the open market after the 2014 season.

Giants Top Minor League Prospects

  • 1. Brandon Belt 6-5,185 1B Lefty bat, solid hitting prospect across the board. Plate discipline, contact, power #'s are all solid
  • 2. Gary Brown 6-1,190 CF has plus speed, considered a lead-off hitter who can be a force at the top of the lineup. Defense is a plus. Potential Gold-Glove-type. His arm is acceptable. A gap-to-gap hitter with little pop. Plate discipline and contact need to improve.
  • 3. Eric Surkamp 6-5, 220 LHP NC State grad, showed well early in A ball. Effective finesse lefty with size.
  • 4. Heath Hembree 6-4,210 RHP from Coastal Carolina with 98MPH FB, has closer stuff, secondary pitches may need more work. Could rise fast.
  • 5. Francisco Peguero 6-0, 175 OF solid hitter, needs more plate discipline to advance (3% BB-Rate), his speed is near off the charts. Not projected as power hitter.
  • 6. Conor Gillaspie 6-1,200 3B Lefty bat, has not progressed as quickly as some may have liked, but still shows promise as a hitter.
  • 7. Hector Sanchez 6-0,185 C Solid, patient hitter (12% BB-Rate). Improving defense with solid arm. May have Panda-like problems with weight.
  • 8. Ehire Adrianza 6-1, 155 SS Switch hitting, slick fielder. Hits just enough, good contact. Bat still a ??, patience (9% BB-Rate) with no pop. Can steal bases, great range, solid hands and good arm for SS.
  • 9. Brandon Crawford 6-2, 200 SS has shown promise as a hitter, patience is OK (11% BB-Rate), less K's (+25% K-Rate) would help to move into elite prospect turf. Good field, no hit rap tough to shake.
  • _10. Charlie Culberson 6-1, 186 SS Still highly regarded within organization as recent AFL assignment will attest. Has to hit better. K-Rate near 20% and BB-Rate of only 6% needs to turn around for MIF prospect with limited pop..
  • _11. Jorge Bucado 6-1, 155 RHP Solid, low K-rate pitcher with strong sinker. Still raw, ceiling limited. His role could be middle relief or 3-4 starter. Secondary stuff needs work. Throws grounders.
  • _12. Jose Casilla 6-1,190 RHP Hard throwing sinkerballer, throws strikes, keeps ball in the park. Hard to hit.
  • _13. Roger Kieschnick 6-3, 215 OF Lefty bat, potential five-tool corner OF who could hit for power and steal some bases. Plays fearless defensively and shows a good arm. Above average speed. Power is a plus skill. Swing is a bit long but has good plate discipline and draws walks. Has been slowed by injuries.
  • _14. Jarrett Parker 6-4,210 OF Has not showed much as a hitter as of yet. Patient, but needs more pop for his size. Plus speed and defensive CF.
  • _15. Nick Noonan 6-0, 180 2B another who may have slipped a bit from early reviews, still grades out well with the bat, patience and plate discipline are hurting him. Otherwise, a solid prospect.
  • _16. Chris Dominguez 3B Big, strong, power hitting prospect from Louisville. Will rise fast if he makes more contact, power is legit.
  • _17. Jake Dunning 6-4, 188 RHP Indiana grad. Converted INF, has a power arm with good command. Could rise fast.
  • _18. Rafael Rodrigiez OF Tall, rangy,four/ potential five-tooler. Comparisons to young, Vlad Guerrero.
  • _19. Seth Rosin 6-6, 230 RHP Throws strikes, keeps ball in the park. Very efficient and tough to hit.
  • _20. Mike Kickham 6-4, 205 LHP Missouri State grad. Live arm, needs to be more consistent with control.
  • _21. Ryan Cavan 2B Switch-hitter, solid bat with patient hitting approach. Has shown some pop.
  • _22. Stephen Harrold 6-1, 208 RHP UNC-Wilmington grad. Has success at A ball level, good power arm with command. Needs to repeat at higher levels.
  • _23. Luke Anders 6-6, 220 1B lefty bat out of Texas A&M. Power hitting potential, speed and defense are average.
  • _24. Aaron King 6-4, 205 LHP mid 90's velocity and a ton of missed bats brings him to AAA, control and mechanical issues may leave him there. Higher ceiling than most, still has to throw more strikes to contribute.
  • _26. Wendell Fairley 6-2,196 OF Was at one time considered a legit five tool prospect. Has not produced the power that was expected and still K's too much. Move to AA may help spring him from lethargy.
  • Others / Too soon to tell: 3B Adam Duvall, RHP Jacob Dunnington, RHP Hector Correa, LHP Kelvin Marte, RHP Edward Concepcion, LHP Edwin Escobar, C Tommy Joseph, RHP Matthew Graham, RHP Luis Mateo, INF Carter Jurica, RHP Kendry Flores, 2B Nick Liles, CF Chuckie Jones, RHP Reinier Robal, OF Chris Lofton, SS/2B Joe Panik, C Andrew Susac, RHP Kyle Crick, LHP Josh Osich, RHP Clayton Blackburn, 1B Ricky Oropesa, RHP Chris Marlowe, LHP Bryce Bandilla
