Heliot Ramos, one of the San Francisco Giants' top prospects, was finally promoted to the Major Leagues. He made his debut on Sunday and collected two hits and scored a run. Ramos, an outfielder, figure to play in a platoon for now, but with plenty of opportunities to prove himself against same-handed pitching. But how long will he be in the majors?

Reliever John Brebbia was placed on the Bereavement List in a corresponding move. Ramos' time with the Giants could be short-lived, but that doesn't make it a less significant addition. He's clearly on the top of their list of young players ready to contribute, and even if he's sent down he'll likely get called back up numerous times. While he's not an uber-prospect, he has consistently ranked among the game's top 100, according to prospect evaluators. He's a well-rounded outfielder who could excel in all areas, although it's possible that he doesn't have a standout skill.

In other news, the SF Giants won their opening series against the Marlins. As expected, it was a tight, hard-fought series. Particularly impressive were Logan Webb and Carlos Rodón. Rodón, specifically, was absolutely dominant. He induced 24 swings and misses and regularly pumped in upper-90s heat at the top of the zone, and the Marlins could do absolutely nothing with it. He also featured a wipeout slider. Webb and Rodón could be co-aces at the top of this rotation, and it's exciting to think of what they're capable of. On offense, the Giants haven't really gotten it going yet but figure to improve pretty much across the board as more games are played. Some relievers have been great, and others have had some pretty rough performances to date.
