It’s overwhelming what happened there. It’s something I’ll never forget,” Bochy said. “So I thank them. It was a really special moment.”Bochy, who managed World Series titles in 2010, ’12 and ’14 Jay Buhner Jersey , is retiring after the season.Not that he’s thinking about that right now, most concerned with making the Giants a contender again before he moves on. Yet Bochy said opening day “never gets old.”“I try not to get caught into that,” Bochy said of his future. “Just like I tell our players, ‘let’s keep our focus here on what we need to do.'”REMEMBRANCESThe Giants paid tribute with a moment of silence to late Hall of Famer Willie McCovey, who died Oct. 31, as well as former manager Frank Robinson, managing general partner Peter Magowan and former broadcaster Hank Greenwald.

There were a few players who were battling for position in the last few rounds of voting, but only one would be able to win the twentieth and final spot. In the end Denard Span Jersey , it went to a very young outfielder over some more established prospects, with Gilberto Jimenez grabbing 11 of 30 (37 percent) votes to round out our list.There wasn’t exactly a lot of fanfare around the signing of Jimenez when the young outfielder out of the Dominican Republic joined the organization. He wasn’t even a July 2 signing, which is of course the date most of the top Latin American players are signed. Instead, Jimenez was signed at the start of August in 2017 for only $10,000, a pittance compared to what the top players in international signing classes receive. The Red Sox clearly had their eyes on at least some of the signee’s tools, but he wasn’t exactly in the consciousness of the fanbase heading into the summer of 2018.Whether or not people were aware of Jimenez isn’t really important, though, because he would make an impression down in the Dominican Summer League. That is where he’d make his professional debut last year, and even there his numbers were good even if they didn’t stand out all that much. He did finish the year hitting .319/.384/.420, showing good on-base skills but not a whole lot of power. Indeed, he didn’t hit a single home run though he did contribute ten doubles and nine triples. He also stole 16 bases in 67 games, though he was also caught 14 times. In all, it was a strong showing and he was named the organization’s Latin American program Player of the Year.In terms of the scouting, the pros and cons for Jimenez are abundantly clear. On the bad side, there isn’t a whole lot of power in his profile http://www.marinersfanproshop.com/authentic-edgar-martinez-jersey , which shouldn’t be a surprise given the zero next to home runs in his 2018 stat line. He also has to make some improvements in terms of pitch recognition and plate discipline. Again, this is not a huge surprise since he just turned 18 last July. On the other hand, he is a plus-plus athlete and one of the fastest prospects the Red Sox have had in some time. He uses his legs on the bases, and while he could use some work in terms of instincts that will come with experience. He also uses them in the field where he covers a ton of ground in the outfield. Additionally, he has a strong arm and quick hands at the plate to give him strong bat-to-ball skills. On top of all that, scouts have raved about his make up and work ethic, which should carry him far in this organization.We’ll see Jimenez make his stateside debut in 2019, though don’t expect it to be in a full-season league. There’s plenty to be excited about here, but the Red Sox aren’t going to push him that far. Instead, he’s likely to make his debut in Lowell. All of that said, given the high marks his make up gets, it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing in the world to see him pushed a little harder as his career goes on if he proves successful at any given level.Here is the final top twenty for the year:Michael ChavisDarwinzon HernandezTriston CasasBobby DalbecJay GroomeTanner HouckDurbin FeltmanBryan MataAntoni FloresMike ShawarynC.J.
