San Francisco Giants preliminary prospect list

By John Sickels@MinorLeagueBall Dec 16, 2013, 1:00pm EST

I am now working on the San Francisco Giants list. I started off with a list of 51 players worthy of interest, and have cut than down to 40. For space and time reasons, I'd like to get that down to 36 or 37. As usual, the obvious names are, well, obvious, but choosing between the various Grade C guys is a balancing act between people who are fairly close to the majors but who project as role players, and guys who are more speculative, may have more upside, but are a long way off.

Comments welcome. Here is the working list.
