Hey, I'm Joe Rutland with Giants Roundtable for Roundtable Sports.
What's the latest on phenom Bryce Eldridge?
Will he stay up with the big league club to start the season on the Giants' forty-man roster, or will he go down to the Pacific Coast League and play for the Giants' AAA affiliate, the Sacramento River Cats?
Well, that remains to be seen.
Giants manager Johnny Vitello has not made a final decision on whether or not Eldridge will stay with the ball club once they break camp in Arizona.
Right now, in Cactus League play, Eldridge is six for twenty-five, with six runs scored, six RBIs, and one home run.
He's showing defensively that he can put things together out on the field.
His hitting abilities are not in question.
It's whether or not he's ready to be a player that can come off the bench for Vitello or whether Vitello and the Giants organization wants him to get more at-bats consistent-- on a, on a consistent basis, I should say.
He's still a young player.
He's a phenom.
It-- All signs point to him having just an incredible Major League career once he's there on a full-time basis.
Should they bring him up right now and have him sit on the bench, or will they give him time to keep maturing in AAA ball?
That's gonna be a decision for Vitello, and he's not showing his cards right now to anyone about what he's doing about Eldridge.
So Giants fans will have to look and just pay attention to what's gonna happen with this incredible young player for the San Francisco Giants going into the twenty twenty-six Major League Baseball season.
