SF Giants No. 2 prospect Tyler Beede | AZL Giants 2014



Beede debuts for Giants in AZL, which is good news. Better news is that a kid named Angel Pagan led off, played CF and went 2-3. H/T to Conner Penfold at the blog Giant Potential for providing the You Tube videos for both prospects. Where these guys fall on future prospect lists will be determined by somewhat limited performances so we take what we can get. Jonathan Mayo at MLB.com has already placed young Beede at #2 on the Giants list which may seem somewhat aggressive at first blush, but theoretically Beede should be a more polished, advanced prospect than Crick. The edge in pure stuff may lie with Crick for the time being but Beede should have more command and control of his.



It's good to have stuff, it's better to harness stuff.



from Giants Potential:

Beede strikes out two in first pro inning — Giant Potential:

Beede attacked hitters with a four-seam fastball that averaged between 92 and 94 miles per hour, topping out at 95, while using a mix of his changeup and curveball, which were both low-to-mid-80s offerings.

SF Giants Cuban prospect Daniel Carbonell | AZL Giants 2014

AZL Giants: More to come from this game later, but for now, here's an inside look into the Giants' most intriguing prospect — Cuban center fielder Daniel Carbonell. In two games I've watched, Carbonell clearly shows a hit tool (from the right side only) that could push the 23-year-old quickly through San Francisco's system. His bat speed is quick and has a good amount of power behind it. I didn't get video Tuesday, but he hammered a double over the center fielder's head, one-hopping the fence at the 402-foot mark. His speed is a plus skill, as well, and his arm is rumored to be above-average, too, though I haven't seen it yet. His third at-bat in the below video was a ball smoked at the left-fielder, who had to leap and make a remarkable catch to avoid it getting by him. It would have surely led to a double or triple, likely reaching the wall on one or two bounces. Carbonell went 2-for-7 with a strikeout in a 13-inning contest.
