This is not a post about Trenton Brooks, this is a post about what Trenton Brooks represents for the San Francisco Giants in 2024. He’s the end of the depth.
Coming into the season, there was a combination of hope that the regulars plus the infusion of free agent regulars would be enough of a burst to get the team rolling and then, as the season progressed and injuries and negative regressions took their tolls, positive development by some of the farmhands could supplement the group.
That’s not quite the way things went down. The regulars got hurt or started off badly and didn’t get better and those farmhands got thrust into the spotlight a bit sooner than anyone expected.
