No. 4 Steven Duggar

You want outfielders? Well the Giants have them they are just not major league ready. Duggar was drafted in 2015 and this season is his second full minor league season. good news about Duggar? all he has done is hit, hit, and hit. Like Chris Shaw, Duggar spent the 2016 season with both Single-A and Double-A. He has the chance to be the answer the Giants are looking for when it comes to left field. In 130 games last year, Duggar hit for a .302 batting average and had 10 home runs with 54 RBI.

2017 has gotten off to to a rough start. Duggar is currently not on a roster as he seems to be injured to begin the year.

No.3 Bryan Reynolds

The Giants’ first pick in the 2016 draft. He was drafted in the second round out of Vanderbilt. In his final season, Reynolds hit 13 home runs (3rd in the SEC), while posting a .332 batting average. The Giants hoped that power would carry over and so far, it has. Reynolds signed a couple weeks after the draft and was sent to play for the Salem- Kaiser Volcanoes the short-season affiliate of the Giants and then ended the season playing 16 games with the Augusta GreenJackets. in his short stint in rookie-ball Bryan Reynolds had a .313/.363/.484 with 6 HR and 38 RBI over 56 games.

To begin the 2017 season, Reynolds was promoted to San Jose. So far he is hitting .308 in the first six games of the season. It will still be a few years for Bryan Reynolds to develop but if he can, he will be on the fast track to the majors.
