With 30 MLB teams, getting more than one player on a Top 50 prospect list is above-average. Even if one of them comes in at No. 50.
That was the case with the “Midseason 50” list from Baseball Prospectus, which featured two minor leaguers from the San Francisco Giants. First baseman Bryce Eldridge came in at No. 15, while 17-year-old Josuar de Jesus Gonzalez, the team’s big international signing from January, ended up at No. 50.
Neither one is truly a surprise. Eldridge slashed .280/.350/.512 in Double-A as a 20-year-old, earning himself a promotion to the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats.
