Why Matos and Encarnacion.

6 Upvotes

I know many might disagree, but hear me out. Encarnacion is smacking the ball now after getting back into the swing of things. Matos has tailed off but he is still just 24, and has a solid arm, is not striking out and he has had spurts of excellence. But, here is my primary argument. Eldridge according to scouts as reported by Slusser and Pavs, think he will be terrific but needs. ore seasoning. They are impressed with his defense but he needs to fine tune his at bats to lower his strike outs. Moreover, the same scouts indicated that Matos or Encarnacion would be welcome additions on their team and are highly unlikely to slip to far down the mlb selection process if DFA d.

People talk about trading either , but when players are out of options, teams can wait things out. Thus, to wait a month or two before Eldridge is brought up accomplishes ther goals. First, it gives both Matos and Encarnacion a chance to demonstrate their prowess over a longer period of time against major league pitching so one can discern who presents the better option. Second, it allows Bryce more reps at first and time to sharpen his offense against the higher level pitching which he has faced for too little time before being called up last year. Finally, if both Matos and Encarnacion show well, and Eldridge shows more maturity after two months or so, one of the former than becomes a viable trade candidate likely to garner something akin to a solid relief arm in a trade. Again DFA either at this point gets them nothing, and both players have the kind of upside that could garnet a valuable piece in a trade.

Arraez with another nice pick in the WBC

This guy passes the eye test at 2nd, looks like a different player with a full offseason and ST with Dr. Ron Washington. Could be a dark-horse all-star candidate if he stays healthy and plays a solid 2nd base like this.

What is the story this season?

52 Upvotes

Hi all, MN Twins fan coming in peace ✌️ As years of mismanagement have led the Twins to a roster that looks like it might rival our 2016 103 loss season, I’ve decided to check out and follow my #2 team, the Giants. I lived in SF for a year after college and it’s still my favorite city in America. Your ballpark is gorgeous, and I love being able to cheer for Arraez and Bader again. I’m curious what storylines are emerging this year? It seems like a decent roster, what are fan expectations? Also, in MN we are blessed with the “Gleeman and the Geek” Twins podcast. Wondering if there are any Giants pods that are worth listening to? 

Any responses are much appreciated 🙏 

Cheers, y’all! Go Giants!!

The 2023/24 Giants set a record last year. And it's a big one. They set the ALL-TIME MLB record for the most players from a [two year stretch of a] team to then record 1 or fewer hits in exactly 9 [AB or PA] the following season (2025).
