Tyler Fitzgerald Hopes What Happens in Vegas Doesn't Stay in Vegas

SF Giants Minor Lines, August 11-13, 2023

The Giants’ commitment to building the world’s largest collection of two-way players is simply awesome in its scope and vision. Witness the 10th inning in Eugene on Saturday night:

Don’t forget to add Damon Dues to your imaginary Ohtani/Crawford/Eldridge 2025 lineup after he retired three straight batters and then came around to score his team’s lone run in extras…

HITTER of the WEEKEND: Tyler Fitzgerald (Sac), 9 for 13, HR (17), 3 2b (23), 3b (6), 5 R, 6 RBI, 2 BB
PITCHER of the WEEKEND: Alix Hernandez (ACLGO), 5.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K

Should Dues have been my Pitcher of the Weekend? Hmm…..Maybe I missed an opportunity to show my own commitment there — a commitment to the bit!

Anyway, there’s more than just novelty to be found around the farm of a weekend’s activity. So, let’s go in search of development tales, shall we? Surely there is much to be learned. As for instance, the oft told tale of players improving their skills and finding success where hitherto there had been failure.
