Bryce Eldridge, a 21-year-old first baseman for the Giants, didn't make their Opening Day roster but believes he is MLB-ready. Despite his lack of experience, Tony Vitello believes Eldridge's potential to be a quality defender at first base and offensive player. Eldridge made his MLB debut in September and has played 84 games above Double-A. The assignment to Triple-A Sacramento should allow Eldridge to get everyday reps at the batter's box and base running mechanics. The Giants also plan to see Eldridge strike out less than his 38.7% rate this spring and become more dangerous at the plate.
