Down on the Farm: 2010 Giants Top 50 Prospect Review- Honorable Mentions

There were several honorable mentions who had interesting seasons in 2010, though none were breakouts. I'll just go through their stat lines and make a brief comment on each one:

David Quinowski, LHP. A+: 3-2, 2.32, 42.2 IP, 13 BB, 51 K's. AA: 2-0, 12.2 IP, 5 BB, 14 K's. Small LHP who missed a year with TJ. Doesn't have top notch stuff, but has always put up good numbers. We should get a chance to see what he can do at higher levels in 2011.

Dan Griffin, RHP. Released. Had a high ERA with pretty good K numbers for AA in 2009. Released at the end of spring training, 2010. He's pitching in indy ball now.

Chris Gloor, LHP. Low A: 4-2, 2.65, 68 IP, 27 BB, 73 K's. Big LHP drafted out of a small program in 2009. Nice numbers pitching long relief for Augusta. A bit old for level at age 23.

Jeremy Toole, RHP. Low A: 6-5, 3.87, 97.2 IP, 37 BB, 75 K's. Big RHP with a big fastball. Mixed results in Augusta mostly as a starter.

Craig Westcott, RHP. A+: 6-0, 1.83, 68.2 IP, 32 BB, 53 K's, GO/AO= 1.52. AA: 3-3, 5.13, 66.2 IP, 28 BB, 48 K's, GO/AO= 1.35. Another Big RHP out of a small program. Great first half for San Jose but one of many Giants pitching prospects who failed to carry success to the next level in 2010. Should get another look in Richmond in 2011.

Leonardo Ochoa, 3B. DNP. Put up some intereting numbers in rookie ball in 2009. He's currently listed on the DL from the San Jose roster.

Sundrendy Windster, OF/1B. Rookie AZL: .311/.416/.594 with 5 HR in 106 AB. A great looking line, but at age 21 he's a bit old for rookie ball and he played mostly 1B which does not bode well for the future either.

Julio Izturis, 2B. Short Season: .281/.321/.314 with 7 SB's. Walked off the island, but didn't walk much last season. Doesn't seem to hit well enough for someone who's already moved off SS. Speed seems to have regressed too.

Cameron Lamb, RHP. Short Season: 0-1, 9.58, 10.1 IP, 6 BB, 8 K's. Australian Baseball League: 2-0, 3.86, 16.1 IP, 11 BB, 13 K's. Not a good season for Cam Lamb. Seems like yesterday he was signed as a 17 year old out of Australia. He'll turn 22 in May.

Jason Jarvis, RHP. Low A: 0-1, 3.07, 14.2 IP, 2 BB, 13 K's, GO/AO= 2.33. Last appearance was May 9. Went on the DL. I couldn't find information on the nature of the injury.

Kaohi Downing, RHP. Short Season: 2-2, 1.47, 43 IP, 22 BB, 34 K's. Downing reportedly has a low-mid 90's FB, but will turn 25 in May. Has a long way to go and a short time to get there.

Audy Santana, RHP. DNP. I'm guessing he was released. Can't find him listed anywhere in milb.com.

  1. It was probably just his name, but I thought Sundrendy Windster was a speed guy, but he only has 5 steals in 2 years of rookie ball.

  2. Windster is a big boy - around 6'3" if I recall.
