The amazing part is not so much how rapidly Arroyo's stock has risen but how former Golden Boy Kyle Crick has descended. Right off the Baseball America's Top Ten list. Not saying the assessment is anything but accurate for either prospect, I'm just saying.
Next move might be to but Arroyo some OF mitts. A little crowded in the Gigante IF.

Arroyo, Beede Headline Top Prospect List
By Joe Ritzo
Christian Arroyo has been named the #1 prospect in the San Francisco Giants organization by Baseball America
2015 San Jose Giants standouts Christian Arroyo and Tyler Beede were rated the #1 and #2 prospects respectively in the San Francisco organization today by Baseball America. Seven of the ten players on BA's top 10 list are former San Jose Giants.
Baseball America's Top 10 San Francisco Giants prospects:
1. Christian Arroyo, SS
2. Tyler Beede, RHP
3. Phil Bickford, RHP
4. Lucius Fox, SS
5. Chris Shaw, 1B
6. Sam Coonrod, RHP
7. Aramis Garcia, C
8. Clayton Blackburn, RHP
9. Jarrett Parker, OF
10. Adalberto Mejia, LHP
Arroyo is coming off an outstanding 2015 season in the California League. As San Jose's everyday shortstop this year, Arroyo finished seventh in the league with a .304 batting average. Over 90 games, Arroyo produced 28 doubles, two triples, nine home runs and 42 RBI's. A consistent presence out of the #2 spot in the batting order, Arroyo hit .300 in the first half before batting at a .307 clip after the All-Star break. For his efforts, Arroyo was named to the postseason California League All-Star team while also garnering the San Jose Giants team MVP award.
The 20-year old former first round pick then followed up his fantastic campaign in San Jose with a stellar effort in the Arizona Fall League. Facing some of the top pitching prospects in baseball, Arroyo hit .308 with three home runs over 19 AFL games.
Arroyo was rated the #10 prospect in the system by Baseball America after the 2014 season. He's the first position player to be named the #1 prospect in the organization by BA since Gary Brown after the 2012 season. Buster Posey (2010) and Brandon Belt (2011) have also garnered the #1 prospect distinction as position players this decade.
