Geraldo has a lot in common with a couple of former Giants prospects who I also was irrationally exuberant about, Ehire Adrianza and Francisco "Frankie Pegs" Peguero. The Adrianza comp is because he's an athletic, wiry thin, switch-hitting SS. The Frankie Pegs comp is because he doesn't walk much but strikes out a lot. Look at Geraldo's stat lines for the past 2 years. You can almost superimpose one on the other. Unfortunately that means he washed out of 2 tries in Augusta then performed much better in Salem-Keizer. 2018 is likely his last chance to gain a foothold in full season ball. I will be rooting hard for him to do just that because I love his athleticism and think he still has a lot of upside. He's also got to be more selective at the plate and get the ball off the ground more, but one thing at a time.
