  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

  • Cincinnati Reds' Newest Owner Is a Top Official from a New York-Based Global Private Equity and Advisory Firm
    CCIINNCCIINNNNAATTII RREEDDSS PPRREESSSS CCLLIIPPPPIINNGGSS OCTOBER 8, 2014 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY: OCTOBER 8, 1880 – CINCINNATI IS KICKED OUT OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE, DUE IN PART TO ITS REFUSAL TO STOP RENTING OUT THEIR BALLPARK ON SUNDAYS AND TO CEASE SELLING BEER DURING GAMES. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Fay: Reds should sign Todd Frazier, Devin Mesoraco John Fay Much of the focus this offseason -- actually when you're out of it as early as the Reds were, the offseason starts during the season -- has been on what the Reds will do with the starting pitchers. That's understandable when four of your five starters are a year removed from their walk year, including the ace, Johnny Cueto. The Reds can figure out a way to re-sign Cueto. Really, they realistically could find a way to keep three of the four. But the merits of signing pitchers to long-term deals, especially by a small-market team, is debatable because of the injury risk. What the Reds do with Cueto, Mat Latos, Mike Leake and Alfredo Simon remains to be seen. You can make an argument either way. But the Reds should sign a couple of players to long-term deals this offseason. Neither is a pitcher. I'm talking about Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco. Both are arbitration-eligible for the first time. That means they'll go from making a bit over the minimum ($600,000 in Frazier's case; $525,000 in Mesoraco's case) to $3 million or so. If they continue to play like they have, they'll get huge raises in the second and third years of arbitration.

Mobley Vice President: Ken Young League Administrator: Chris Sprague Corporate Secretary: Max Schumacher Office Manager: Gretchen Addison Years Active: 1884 - Present The El Paso Chihuahuas (Triple-A, San Diego Padres) are hosting the 32nd edition of the Triple-A Baseball All- Star Game at Southwest University Park, July 8-10. The three days of festivities include a Home Run Derby and concludes with the nationally televised All-Star Game. The game showcases the best players of Triple-A Baseball's Pacific Coast League against those from the International League. "The Triple-A All-Star Game is a marquee event for all of Minor League Baseball," said Minor League Baseball's President and CEO Pat O'Conner. "To bring together the top caliber of players for this event makes it a showcase event. I can think of no better venue to play this game than in El Paso. What has happened in El Paso is no surprise given the first-rate ownership, management and affiliation put together for the passionate fans in the region." This is the second Triple-A Baseball national event hosted at Southwest University Park. The Gildan Triple-A Baseball National Championship Game was played on September 22, 2015 with the Pacific Coast League's Fresno Grizzlies (Houston Astros) defeating the Columbus Clippers (Cleveland Indians), 7-0.
