Melvin Adon (R), amateur free agent (DR), 26 this June, no ML service.
Shaun Anderson (R), acquired via Eduardo Nunez trade with Red Sox, 27, 93 IP ML service.
Tyler Anderson (L), 1st-round pick (#20) in 2011 by COL, 30, waiver claim, 71 ML starts
Tyler Beede (R), Giants 1st-round pick (#14) in 2014, 27 this May, 24 ML starts
Sam Coonrod (R) Giants 5th-round pick in 2014, 27, 27-2/3 IP ML service.
Enderson Franco (R), international free agent (Ven), 27, "cuppa coffee" in 2019 (5-1/3 IP)
I skipped Johnny Cueto because you all know about him. He was brilliant in 2016 (5.5 bWAR), but limited by injuries since then. He underwent Tommy John surgery and he appeared to recover in record time. If he is healthy he will be a force. Not to mention entertaining as hell--the guy is a true performer!
Thoughts on the others: look out for The Andersons. Shaun displayed an abundance of moxie in both starting and relieving roles. Look for him to be an opener, starter, and/or closer. This guy is an FZ dream--young, talented, and flexible. Let's hope he does well. Tyler has some serious talent--the Giants claimed him, non-tendered him, then signed him. Whoa, I don't understand all that shit, but whatever. Clear candidate for a bounceback. Keep an eye on The Andersons.
Melvin Adon is a whiff artist. He could be a late-inning gas-tosser. Tyler Beede is obviously talented and he showed flashes of dominance last season. Can he harness The Beast Within Him? Who knows? Let's hope he finds it.
Sam Coonrod had a 118 ERA+ and Enderson Franco had a 132 ERA+ (in 2019). Accentuate the positive, right?
GO GIANTS!
