Giants Outright Jake Jewell, Trevor Oaks

By Jeff Todd | January 24, 2020 at 7:15pm CDT

The Giants continued their roster-churning efforts by outrighting pitchers Jake Jewell and Trevor Oaks. Among those to tweet the news was Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group (via Twitter).

Both of these 26-year-old right-handers were acquired earlier in the offseason through waiver claims, then dropped to allow the club to acquire two additional hurlers. Jewell and Oaks are now lodged in the San Francisco system without occupying 40-man roster space, which was perhaps the plan all along.

The voluminous waiver activity of the Giants has brought in a host of new players. Whether any will provide much value remains to be seen.

Jewell is coming off of a tough 2019 effort in which he was bombed at both the MLB and Triple-A levels. But he features a mid-to-upper-nineties fastball and has shown some swing and miss potential. Perhaps the Giants can re-think his approach and help improve the results.

For Oaks, the standout skill is groundball induction. The soft-tossing sinkerballer has worked almost exclusively as a starter and was successful in that role last year at Triple-A. Though he recorded just 4.9 K/9, he drew grounders on 50.2% of the balls put in play against him and allowed just five home runs in 128 1/3 innings — no small achievement given the offensive explosion in the highest level of the minors.

      Great small moves made by Zaidi, by 2021 or 22 they will be World Series contenders. Once their top prospects like Bart, Ramos, Luciano, hjelle, and Corey they will be real contenders. They also need to keep making small moves like they did to get yaz and Alex dickerson.

        They’ll be better in 2022 but they won’t field a legit playoff contender for at least another 4-5 years. They just booked their 3rd consecutive below .500 season . The next step is to finish w/ a winning record. That isn’t going to happen in 2020 or 2021. They should in 2022.
        But fielding a team that finishes above .500 and building a lever play off contender are two entirely different things. The latter takes time

        I agree, Zaidi knows what he’s doing. If only these soft Giants fans and Homer Frisco writers would just leave him alone he’ll build a winner

        High ground ball rate and has a above average swinging strike rate. He really could be as his HR fly ball rate will definitely drop.

    I dig these moves, depth creation is all apart of it, get them into the system and get them some of this new age coaching and see what they can achieve

    The numbers cited for Oaks are 2018 and I see no stats on the link to 2019. Did he pitch at all last year?

    Do waiver claims still cost $20k? Or is it $50k now? I have seen both cited.
