It's hard to figure out why the San Francisco Giants have done what they've done with Bryce Eldridge.
Maybe it'll be a moot point now. He's coming to the major leagues, promoted after a rough weekend, and he certainly seems ready.
Eldridge arrives after hitting .330 in the early going this season at Triple-A, but some Giants will be wondering what took this move so long.
It's a fair question.
The Giants felt good enough about Eldridge last season to call him up at the end of the year, but he struggled, going just 3-for-28 in 10 games played.
Still, that was a small sample size, and he was walking and hitting the ball hard.

Despite that, the Giants didn't then follow through and keep Eldridge on the MLB roster for Opening Day.
They've spent a lot of time with the not-particularly-potent Casey Schmitt at DH, with Rafael Devers at first base.
