Well I'm somewhat disappointed in the results of the San Francisco series, but I have found some bright spots in the series. In game 1, Joel Pineiro got shelled, but afterwards in was revealed that he has "dead arm" (fatigue in casual fans speak), so we have shut him down. Game 2, Roy was vintage Roy so no complaints there. Then in game 3, we sent out Craig Stammen. No offense to Craig, but he has no business starting on a big league club at this point in time. He went from pitching in Double-A to pitching in the big leagues in a 5 day period.

I'm also very happy with how we drafted. I think we uncovered a couple of great players. Pedro Gonzalez has the stuff to hang around the majors for a long time and has a good chance of being an ace on a major league team in 3-5 seasons. Adam Numbers can play almost every position on the field and can hit with the best of them (he played at UNC, one of the premiere college clubs in America). Roberto Aguilar is an average catcher, but has a great bat (16 HR, 65 RBI, .331 AVG as Mississippi State). Ken Stark is a speedy, defensive player with an above average bat that any GM would take into their system. Last but not least, Gary Baker showed above average stuff at UCLA, who faced a steep schedule and top teams and prospects around the nation.

I went with Billy Beane's approach of college-first (I did break the rules and take a couple of high school players) drafting and feel like I've adequately stacked our system in my first draft as a major league general manager. Talk to you guys after the Milwaukee series.
