The San Francisco Giants are one win away from claiming their third National League pennant in the last five years. 16 former San Jose Giants have been on the playoff rosters this October with several playing leading roles, from Madison Bumgarner’s dominance on the mound to Buster Posey’s clutch hitting and Brandon Belt’s memorable 18th inning home run. Rookies such as Joe Panik, Matt Duffy and Hunter Strickland along with veterans Travis Ishikawa and Sergio Romo, among others, have also made significant contributions during the postseason run. Before their successes on baseball’s biggest stage though, these 16 players were making their mark in the California League, whether it be with a big playoff home run, an All-Star nod or a spectacular pitching performance. Take a look back now at when they were prospects and some of their notable individual accomplishments while playing for the San Jose Giants. sjgiants.mlblogs/2014/10/16/a-look-back-when-they-were-san-jose-giants/
