Just saw this page. It is published by mlb.com.
The page has a link to that page labeled "Giants have talent Worth Waiting For", which I imagine many of you have read.

However, this page also has a section on the Giants Minor League 2008 Season in Review. It includes links to pages that had reports on several MiLB Giants that made Player of the Week at some time during 2008.

Many of thes names you will know - Pablo Sandoval, Angel Villalona, Madison Bumgarner, Tim Alderson.

Some you may not - Mike Loree, Scharlon Schoop, Joseph Martinez, Michael Ambort, and Kevin Pucetas.

The dark horse here may be Mike Loree. Here is the report filed by MLB.com as of Aug 18:

Mike Loree, Salem-Keizer
Certainly a player to root for, Loree was drafted in the final round of the 2007 Draft out of Villanova University. This season, he has been dominant, with two hitless outings (six and seven innings, respectively), and a span of 20 frames in which he allowed just one hit. He wasn't that dominant this week, but it's tough to beat 11 scoreless innings in two starts, even if the result was two no-decisions as Loree saw his defense and bullpen betray him both times. Spin Loree's numbers however you want, they always end up amazing. The right-hander has chalked up 64 strikeouts against just four walks over 69 2/3 innings. Opponents are batting just .205 off him. He hasn't allowed a home run since July 5. This is dominance.
