Giants call up top prospect Bryce Eldridge
Digest more
Bryce Eldridge is hard to miss. The San Francisco Giants' top prospect stands 6-foot-7, and that was a historic number when he made his MLB debut on Monday night. Because the second Eldridge took that field in Arizona to take on the Diamondbacks, he was tied for a Giants franchise record.
This Eldridge call-up is a no-risk, all-reward play from Posey. Detractors will suggest that the 20-year-old’s 30 percent strikeout rate in Triple-A, where there are roughly four total good pitchers amid 30 teams, is evidence that the kid isn’t ready.
