That is really aggressive, especially since they didn't want him starting the season with any team.
It is also odd considering how much they've kid gloved him up to now.
Only two times someone besides the regular five (Cain, Bumgarner, Vogelsong, Zito and Lincecum) didn't start was April 27th and Sept 23rd.
And before tzill responds, yes, I realize that this was an anomaly. Point still stands, it can still happen, just slightly higher than the never level.
I generally agree but have found sharing what little I have to be harmless. It is whatever you are comfortable doing. This is a pretty tight knit group who’ve posted together for many years. Hope you fit in well.
Another MLB debut from the alum of the churn

Hey @Brightboat , as I was welcoming a new member to this board, I realized that you haven't shared anything in our Introduce Yourself thread (that, and you still list yourself as an Angels' fan, which I'll probably give you a hard time about for awhile or until you change it, whichever comes...
Hello Cmandc. Welcome to the Giants' forum on SportsHoopla. Please visit the Introduce Yourself thread to learn more about the posters here and share about yourself too.
I looked at Eldridge's player card on milb.com. He is still on the active roster but hasn't played since April 10th. I would...
Yes he is injured and he looks to be out for awhile. MLBTR reported in March that he was diagnosed with a teres major strain and the recovery time would be a few months.
I get the Chapman demotion but Conforto? Yeah, he's had bad games but not as much as the rest of the lineup (except Wade, who is sitting). And if we are measuring by production to date, why in the world is Lee in the number 3 spot? Oh right, because the rest of this lineup is even worse (except...
There was a lot of fanfare about Ramos early in his prospect career but he has two strikes against him - he has struggled at AAA and is not one of FZ's picks. The latter, I think is really working against him and the former is being used as an excuse to do the latter. He has struggled at the big...
Black looks closest to ready among the pitchers you listed. Seymour seems to be piecing it together right now. I'd like to see a few more starts from him at AAA before declaring he is even nearly ready.
And I really hope Schmitt turns it around soon. He is free falling right now. He could get...
I did remember reading something about him just after the draft and found the article link in that draft's thread. I do wonder if the things he changed with Tread Athletics did his arm in.

Edit: Just found...
He was a bit intriguing when the Giants drafted him but not heard from again. I never read what ailments kept him sidelined for his entire career. Too bad we never got to see what he could have done.
Just found out that the Giants' 5th round pick from 2021, Rohan Handa, retired this past December. He finished his professional career without throwing a single pitch in a minor league game.
