madison bumgarner...


Interesting name... Thanks to John Shea's blurb in todays Comicle, I became familiar with the Giants 2007 1st round pick(10th overall). Madison is a left handed pitcher and just turned 19 years old- just a year out of high school. Shea is comparing Bumgarner to Lincecum(10th overall pick in 2006). Both are 13-3 thus far this season. But you really can't compare a class A(Augusta Green Jackets) team to the big leagues. I'd like to see this kid pitching for the high single A affiliate San Jose Giants.

If Madison is anything close to Lincecum, then we have a lefty for the future who will eventually replace Noah Lowery. Or maybe Barry Zito...
