February 17, 2010 Manager Bruce Bochy said that Madison Bumgarner and Todd Wellemeyer will have an open competition for the Giants' No. 5 starting spot, according to the San Jose Mercury News' Andrew Baggarly. Our View:It will be no secret as to who fantasy owners will be rooting for in spring training; we all know what we're going to get from the perennially mediocre Wellemeyer, while Bumgarner carries a great deal of upside. Monitor the competition between these two before reaching for Bumgarner. |

February 5, 2010 Henry Schulman of the San Francisco Chronicle reports that 20-year-old phenom Madison Bumgarner is still on track to be the Giants' fifth starter in 2010. Our View:After he went 12-2 with a 1.85 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 25 appearances (24 starts) between High-A and Double-A last season, expectations will be understandably high. He's worth drafting in all formats, but should only be a later round flier in most mixed leagues. He is obviously just too unproven to take any earlier. |

January 13, 2010 Giants general manager Brian Sabean said that he's comfortable opening the 2010 season with 20-year-old Madison Bumgarner as the team's No. 5 starter, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Our View:Let the hype begin. Bumgarner, who was called up toward the end of last year for a brief audition, was excellent in the minors last season, going 12-2 with a 1.85 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 25 appearances (24 starts) between High-A and Double-A. He has excellent stuff, and while he'll surely struggle with the typical rookie ups and downs in 2010, his talent still makes him worthy of a late-round flyer in drafts. |
