Very much a head scratcher. We carry on the OP roster a reject from the Dodgers, Padres and Royal?!?! (although, he had some encouraging numbers during his time with the Dodgers, so there is some potential. Still, why?)
Because FZ gotta FZ.Anyone know anything about Beatty?

He is only 29, but he doesn’t appear to have much of a bat, and his defensive metrics (I am only looking at it since I have nothing else to go by) says he is a net negative defensively. Maybe they just want Bryce to prove it in “real” games Before he gets added back?
seems like a Connor Joe move, but we'll see.
Piscotty probably exercised his opt out clause and the Giants decided that they need Beaty more than they needed Piscotty. FZ's moves are real head scratchers sometimes.
I was just thinking, what are the odds Beaty is even in the org in two weeks.
based on nothing, I'd put it at 3-1 against.
Joe was young and a Rule V. Seeing that he has developed into a serviceable starting-level outfielder, I think it fair to say they didn’t give Joe enough rope.
Maybe a better comp is Donovan Walton. Hope the Giants don't ship some mid level prospect for a seemingly unnecessary acquisition.
It was a cash purchase.
Thanks. Thought it was a PTBNL.
It might have been. I don’t 100% trust the reporting on these kinds of things.
I will say, his two big league seasons with the most playing time, he did post an OPS+ slightly over league average.Anyone know anything about Beatty?

That's one take.
Dude.
Kidding, I know who he is but seriously, why not Bart?
He is on the roster. OP lineup assignment does not mean the guy is the starter. It could simply be that they wanted the best game caller on the staff to catch the first game. Although, @calsnowskier could probably catch the Yankees would still strike out 20 times today.
