Will these youngsters for the San Francisco Giants build upon their experience in 2018, or will they fall victim to the dreaded sophomore slump?
The “youngsters” that I refer to are Dereck Rodriguez, Steven Duggar, Andrew Suarez, Chris Shaw, and Aramis Garcia. All of them had their ups and downs in 2018, but it’s clear they all could be staples on the Giants going forward.
In terms of upside, I think it’s pretty clear that Rodriguez has the most of it. He had an incredible rookie season and didn’t flinch even when high expectations were thrown upon him.
