Besides Madison Bumgarner and Jeff Samardzija, the San Francisco Giants have lacked consistency in their starting rotation in 2019. Young arms like Shaun Anderson and Tyler Beede have shown flashes, but consistency has been nowhere to be found.
The same goes for Dereck Rodriguez, who has shown signs that he is still the same rookie stand-out from last year, but more times than not has looked like a totally different pitcher.
While Beede has been given perhaps the longest leash of any of the team’s young hurlers, his recent form suggests that the team might not be able to count on him to hold down a rotation spot in 2020.
