Marco Luciano

And I don't know if you want to blame that on the way they were developed, just bad luck, something in the middle.

But I kind of mentally have lumped him in with like the Marco Luciano's.

Joey Bart and him were similar and they were close.

He was the one who broke through and became the all-star.

You also want to look for feel.

Remember when we went to the Fall League and everything about Marco Luciano's day that was incredible? Then we watched his shoulders slump and not get down on ground ball.

I was

like, that guy's an avid.

I remember me and you watching Marco Luciano take on-deck swings and being like, I'm out.

I have no interest in this guy.

And granted, we were drooling over Sully Matias.

So you have some layers of depth there.

But I think when teams get into trouble, and we've seen this from the Giants before and in other ways, is when you kind of do like the, hey, Marco Luciano is going to be our shortstop.

And then you show up the next year and it's like, well, Marco is not ready to be the shortstop.

And I think they've done that a fair amount.

Well, I think it's so important for Giants fans, after years and years of being promised great prospects, that the top guy in the farm system was going to turn into a great prospect.

For that actually to happen, and for it not to happen with a 25-year-old who spent four years in the minors – But for it to happen with a 21-year-old drafted out of high school who wasn't the number two overall pick like Joey Bart, who wasn't the number one overall international free agent from his class like Marco Luciano, for it to be like the true drafted out of high school guy to just come through the farm system, tear it apart, come up to the major league level, and never struggle.

Like Eldridge out of the gates was limited by what the Giants limited him to.

Like, his limitations were imposed by the team by not playing him right away.

they, you know, they're, they're guys who are gonna be shortstops throughout their time in the minors.

And we saw this with Marco Luciano.

Like, don't really waste the time.

Figure out where they play, and figure out where, you know, that glove can play up a little bit at an easier position.

You're really excited about three guys.

And I think for Giants fans, people were really excited about Marco Luciano, Joey Bart, and Bryce Eldridge.

In the last decade, those three generated a lot of excitement.

One of those three guys worked out.
