The San Francisco Giants, who can all but say goodnight to their postseason dreams, have had a very disappointing season. But hidden inside that disappointing season have been nuggets of excitement.
Heliot Ramos broke through and became not just an everyday player, but an All-Star. Tyler Fitzgerald spent a two-month segment of the season as one of baseball’s best players. Blake Snell pitched a no-hitter.
But if you’re willing to look further down the totem pole of Giants affiliates, you’ll find perhaps the best development of the year: Bryce Eldridge’s ascension from exciting prospect to potential superstar.
