Luis Matos Returns!

SF Giants Minor Lines, June 9, 2022

I should probably have included this bit of context in yesterday’s lede on the Joey Bart demotion:

• Adley Rutschman: .145/.230/.200, 24% K, 0 HR, 27 wRC+ (61 PA)

• Bobby Witt, Jr.: .221/.269/.417, 25% K, 7 HR, 94 wRC+ (219 PA)

• Spencer Torkelson: .190/.295/.310, 27%K, 4 HR, 91 wRC+ (183 PA)

• Jered Kelenic: .140/.219/.291, 38% K, 3 HR, 51 wRC+, returned to AAA

It’s a rough world out there for rookies and the jump from Triple A to MLB has never been harder!

Of course, I did skip over this guy:

FOX Sports: MLB @MLBONFOX

Julio Rodriguez sends one to the seats!!! (via @MLB)

That dude was playing against Eugene last year!?!?!? What the heck, man! Where do we get one of those guys?

Hopefully here:

Eugene Emeralds @EugeneEmeralds

2 of the most talented rosters in High-A are going head to head until Sunday! No.1 Rockies prospect Zac Veen vs No.1 Giants prospect Marco Luciano. Come check out the talent at PK!

or maybe here?

Eugene Emeralds @EugeneEmeralds

He’s baaaackkk. Welcome back Luis Matos!

But, then again, maybe not! The ones who make it look easy at the highest levels don’t come around that often, and they are not apportioned equally to all. That’s why we love them so…
