Times have never been better for baseball prospect watchers. When Buster Posey first joined the Giants late in the 2009 season, he was one of 204 players to debut in the majors that season. Last season, 261 players appeared in their first MLB games – a year after there were a record-setting 303 debuts. More top prospects than ever are being fast-tracked, in large part because of rules intended to discourage teams from manipulating service time to stall players’ arbitration and free agent clocks. Here’s a look at some of the prospects fans should know for Opening Day and to keep an eye out for ..read more

SALINAS – Monterey County elected officials and Caltrans, after months of trying to come to a compromise on the design of railings along Garrapata Bridge, remain at loggerheads, but they’re going to try again. The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday was presented with a report from Phil Angelo, an associate planner, and Melanie Beretti, the acting chief of planning services and a principal planner, recommending that supervisors deny an appeal by Caltrans over its proposed design of the railings. The Monterey County Planning Commission had earlier denied the Caltrans plan because the visual and his ..read more

ORLANDO, Fla. — Hours before he slipped on an all-yellow outfit and stood in front of his locker, before he hit his latest “night-night” celebration, before he recorded his seventh double-double of the season, Steph Curry was apoplectic. After Draymond Green got assessed two technical fouls in rapid succession, Curry keeled over. The Warriors were already without Jonathan Kuminga for a massive road matchup against the Orlando, now Green was gone too? Less than four minutes into the game, an exasperated Curry hid his red face in the neck of his jersey. Curry, once again, lost the defensive yin ..read more

ORLANDO, Fla. — Steph Curry keeled over with his hands on his knees. He tugged the neck of his jersey over his red face, visibly upset that his long-time teammate got himself tossed. Draymond Green, the Warriors’ embattled defensive star, got ejected less than four minutes into Wednesday night’s game for arguing with official Ray Acosta. But Curry and the Warriors recovered from the early, Green-imposed drama. In fact, they never trailed after Green headed to the locker room. In a tight fourth quarter, Andrew Wiggins dropped 13 points and Curry (17 points, 10 rebounds) celebrated a step-back 3 ..read more

ORLANDO, Fla. — Less than four minutes into the Warriors’ contest against the Magic in the Kia Center, Draymond Green got ejected. Green, arguing with official Ray Acosta, got assessed a pair of technical fouls in rapid succession. The faces of his teammates in front of Golden State’s expressed mild bewilderment. Green hadn’t been ejected from a game since he returned from his indefinite suspension for reckless on-court behavior. Just days ago, Steve Kerr praised the veteran big man for his composure and leadership. “He’s walked the line perfectly,” Kerr said on March 24. “Gotten a couple tech ..read more

MONTEREY — A first-time town hall forum on the use of military equipment by the Monterey Police Department was marred by inappropriate and racist remarks by the public earlier this week. The town hall was presented at Monterey City Hall on Monday, providing an update on what kind of military equipment the Monterey Police has and how it was used in the last year. There was an opportunity for public comments and a question and answer period with police, but nearly every online caller was skipped for making inappropriate remarks, many of them attempting to call out specific races and ethnic group ..read more

Kurtenbach: Expecations must become reality for the 2024 SF Giants

The mandate for the San Francisco Giants in 2024 is crystal clear: This big-market, big-money team cannot miss the postseason for a third straight year. It doesn’t matter how they reach the playoffs. They can magically and inexplicably win 107 games again (the super fun route) or sneak in with a barely .500 record (the got-it-done option). They can do it by leaning on old players, young players, or a whole bunch of players in between. They can buy or sell at the trade deadline or do a bit of both. For the Giants, the ends will justify the means, so long as the end is October baseball. (Though ..read more
