Every year, I struggle through the Giants system. I like Bryce Eldridge and Carson Whisenhunt, but after that, there’s a lot of “meh.” Kyle Harrison looks like he will be at least a number three starter, so that worked out. As did Heliot Ramos. Who else has?
Marco Luciano finally graduated, and he was hard to rank because of his swing-and-miss, which played out in his MLB debut. In his debut, Grant McCray has shown speed and power, but he’s striking out at 40% of the time. Hyden Birdsong? Not really. Then there’s Vaun Brown, Luis Matos, and Mason Black. All were owned heavily by Dynasty League managers, and none will become stars.
The Giants have done a lousy job at drafting and developing players and haven’t taken advantage of the Latin market. It’s a shame. The Championship years of the early 2010s are long gone. What are they going to do now?
