Bryce Eldridge Falling Out of Role in Giants Lineup?
San Francisco Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge has struggled to earn consistent playing time lately, and that trend could continue going forward. Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News reports that Giants president of baseball operations Buster Posey acknowledges Eldridge hasn't been afforded consistent playing time, which could be impacting his ability to get into a routine. When asked if Eldridge could be sent to Triple-A to get more consistent reps, Posey said the team will "just watch what's going on out here and make different decisions as we think they're necessary." That answer doesn't provide much clarity, but it does seem to suggest that Eldridge isn't quite ready for an everyday role in the major leagues. The stats say similar, as the first base prospect is slashing just .143/.226/.250 with one home run, a 9.7% walk rate, a 32.3% strikeout rate, and 28 wRC+ through nine games. His stock is falling in fantasy baseball, and he's now rostered in just 5% of leagues.
