Catchers (2)
Jackson Williams (Decker calls him the best defensive backstop in the system)
Chris Stewart (Hit .248 in 85 games last season for Triple-A Portland)
Infielders (6)
Brandon Belt (Top prospect likely will spend a couple months in Fresno before heading to the majors.)
Brock Bond (Hard-nosed gamer who works the count, sets the table)
Brett Pill (Needs to re-establish himself at crowded 1B position)
Emmanuel Burriss (Slick fielder still hasn't shown he can hit, stay healthy)
Edgar Gonzalez (Adrian's older brother adds depth, versatility)
Conor Gillaspie (Has not lived up to college and draft hype)
Outfielders (5)
Tyler Graham (Opened eyes last season by hitting .343)
Thomas Neal (Performed well enough at Double-A to earn promotion)
Terry Evans (Ex-Angels farmhand swatted 15 homers at Triple-A Salt Lake)
Justin Christian (Ex-Yankees farmhand hit .356 with .452 OBP this winter in Mexican Pacific League)
Brad Eldred (Slugger banged 30 homers in 106 games last season at Triple-A Colorado Springs)
Starting pitchers (5)
Matt Yourkin (At times last season, lefty was Grizzlies' most consistent starter)
Brian Lawrence (Former 15-game winner for Padres turned in solid 2010 at Triple-A New Orleans)
Shane Loux (Journeyman owns career 4.77 ERA over eight Triple-A seasons)
Henry Sosa (Maturity, experience all this hard-throwing righty is lacking)
Clayton Tanner (Lefty went 9-9 with 3.68 ERA last season at Double-A Richmond)
Relief pitchers (7)
Steve Edlefsen (Stingy sinker specialist still looking for first call-up)
Ryan Vogelsong (Look who's back. Ex-Giant farmhand once traded for Jason Schmidt)
Casey Daigle (12-year pro looking to wear third major-league uniform)
Alex Hinshaw (Lefty can be wild, and at times wildly effective)
Waldis Joaquin (Hard thrower re-joins Giants after rejecting White Sox waiver claim)
Dan Runzler (Lefty might also get stretched out to start if the Giants need rotation depth)
Marc Kroon (ex-Yomiuri Giants closer reportedly touches triple digits, but he's 38)
Other possibilities: IF Brandon Crawford, IF Ryan Rohlinger, RHP Felix Romero, RHP Osiris Matos
---------------------------------
Saltzman Says...
Brandon Belt and Dan Runzler may make Opening Day Roster for San Francisco.
Brandon Crawford should start at SS for Fresno.
Darren Ford should get promotion to AAA as well and play CF.
Ryan Rohlinger will start in AAA as well.
