Giants' Christian Arroyo: Hits another clutch home run
Arroyo went 1-for-4 with a go-ahead home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Padres.
The 21-year-old hasn't carried over the .446 batting average he was sporting with Triple-A Sacramento this season, but his power has transferred to the majors nicely, going yard twice in just 20 plate appearances. It isn't inconceivable that a prospect this young develops into something more than initially expected, but we shouldn't go overboard and project 30-plus homers the rest of the way. Arroyo deserves consideration in most formats due to his potential and the possibility he keeps this early power going. It is also worth noting that the rookie got his first start at shortstop -- his natural position -- and held his own there. Arroyo could conceivably back up Brandon Crawford (personal) when he returns from the disabled list, and depending on league settings, he could earn eligibility there down the road.
