Most of the San Francisco Giants fanbase let out a little rejoice when they finally called up Chris Shaw. The slugger has been a top power prospect in the organization, and a discussion of “when” not “if” for the last two years. Now he’s here, he hasn’t gotten the consistent playing time, despite management saying he’d get the majority share of playing time in left field.
However, Chris Shaw has shown some improvement in handling pitching at the big league level, as he’s been drawing a few walks, and posted two hits yesterday against the Rockies. According to Mercury News’ Kerry Crowley, Shaw has been tinkering with his swing and approach a bit.
