Top prospects Marco Luciano and Heliot Ramos will be headed to Scottsdale.
Hello and happy Sunday. And happy Valentine’s Day!
On Friday, the San Francisco Giants released their list of non-roster invitees for Major League Spring Training, which is about to get underway.
The Giants are inviting 13 non-roster players to Scottsdale: five pitchers (all right-handed), two catchers, three outfielders, and three infielders.
Here they are, with their ranking in our ongoing Community Prospect List, when applicable, in parenthesis.
Pitchers:
Tristan Beck (13)
Tyler Cyr
Matt Frisbee
Sean Hjelle (11)
Kai-Wei Teng (18)
Catchers:
Patrick Bailey (8)
Ricardo Genoves (29)
Outfielders:
Hunter Bishop (4)
Joe McCarthy
Heliot Ramos (3)
Infielders:
Marco Luciano (1)
Will Wilson (10)
Logan Wyatt (19)
McCarthy, who made the Opening Day roster last year, made his MLB debut, when hitless in 10 appearances, was designated for assignment, and was then outrighted, is the only player of the 13 with any MLB experience.
