Is Nady this year's Pat Burrell?

  1. Nah, Nady, at best, is this year's Cody Ross, but probably more like this year's Jose Guillen (whose bat boosted us for 6 weeks before a very cold 2 weeks), he'll do well for a while, but most people will point to his poor overall numbers and say that Sabean made a mistake.

    And in this year's Giants, though, Nady should not be getting starts like Guillen did, so maybe Cody Ross is a more apt example still, except with the poor post-season appreciation by the Giants fan base like Guillen.

    I was perusing some of the new draftees' performances, and most were scuffling so far. I see that Okert is doing OK above, and I think Mac Williamson is doing OK but as a college player, I think he should be in his league. Anybody else worth mentioning?

    1. Shilo McCall is performing well, Chris Stratton although not doing fairly well he should be fine i believe.

    2. Every player is different. And while Crick is much younger, his debut last season wasn't immaculate either. So, there is still hope for Stratton.

    3. Tyler Hollick is tearing up the AZL was he should be. Shilo McCall is doing well for a HS draftee in the AZL.
