Giants Promote Tyler Beede

By Jeff Todd | April 10, 2018 at 9:43am CDT

The Giants will hand the ball to pitching prospect Tyler Beede tonight, as Kerry Crowley of the Bay Area News Group was among those to report. Reliever Roberto Gomez was optioned to create space.

The righty had already joined the MLB team on its taxi squad, but the team’s precise plans were not clear. Skipper Bruce Bochy announced last night that the youngster will be activated for his first MLB start.

Beede, the Giants’ first-round pick in the 2014 draft, will make his debut about six weeks before his 25th birthday. The Vanderbilt University product has steadily moved up the ladder in the San Francisco farm since signing out of the amateur ranks.

The results have been mixed of late for Beede. He turned in a strong 2016 season at Double-A, working to a 2.81 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9. But he failed to carry that forward last year, when he allowed 4.79 earned per nine (with 6.9 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9) in his 109 Triple-A innings.

While Beede entered camp this spring with at least some hope of forcing his way into the Opening Day roster mix, he labored through his four outings. Still, he’ll receive a shot now that there’s an opening. Fellow hurler Andrew Suarez might also have been considered, but Beede is a much simpler selection from a logistical standpoint since he already has a 40-man roster spot.

It’s not clear at this point whether Beede will have much hope of sticking in the rotation for the remainder of the year. With Jeff Samardzija not far from a return, it could be that Beede will only get a limited opportunity. If he impresses, though, perhaps there’s a chance he could stake a claim to a permanent job. It’s doubtful the Giants are looking too closely at Beede’s service situation, as he isn’t exactly considered a can’t-miss ace, but it’s worth noting that he could still accrue a full year of MLB service in 2018 if he sticks on the active roster from this point forward.

    Don’t really have high expectations for this kid anymore. Hope he surprises me.

      Me too, and with the way this offense is flatlined, the kid will have to be darn near perfect to get a chance to win. Oh look, Brandon Belt struck out again…..

        both of belt’s strikeouts in the 9th over the last 2 games were looking and out of the zone.

          I think the second at bat was pretty close. Hard to tell because I not sure if they adjust the strike zone box based on the size of the hitter.

          Belt is too concerned with walking. Dude needs to get his contact skills up. Strikes out way too much.

          I don’t have a problem with him being selective when it comes to pitches. But I agree. He seems to strike out a hell of a lot and also seems to strike out looking more than most. Wonder if anyone has any stats on that??

    doesn’t Suarez outright still belong to Arizona due to Rule 5 rules about, ya know, outrighting?

      I could be mistaken, but I believe he is one of the rare Rule 5 selections that can be outrighted because they have cleared outright waivers before.

        That’s the other Saurez. The Giants has two — Andrew and Albert. Albert was Rule 5.

      Andrew suarez is the starter, That they own, Albert is the reliever that they have on a rule 5 – Andrew is much better IMO

    I got to see him pitch last Thursday versus the Angels High-A team. He did okay.

    Not only is he not a top-end ace prospect, but he’s about to turn 25. Even if they don’t play service time games, they have him until 31. Since GMs now think 31 is well into old age uselessness, losing him then isn’t a big concern.

      That’s not true. The free agent pitchers this past year who got screwed were Cobb because of injury and Lynn because of stats. Arrieta and Darvish both got huge deals.
