The San Diego Padres and their fans are all hoping that Freddy Galvis‘ wonderful Opening Day showing was a sign of good things to come for the team’s new shortstop.
During his first few seasons in the major leagues, there was some buzz surrounding the Venezuelan native at times, but his fielding skills consistently outweighed his perceived offensive ceiling.
He would piece together stretches that he would be absolutely dominant on both sides of the lines for the Phillies, but never became the consistent hitter that Philadelphia’s front-office had in mind as they moved him through their farm system.
