HOW POSEY VIEWS TOP GIANTS PROSPECT ELDRIDGE'S PATH TO MLB

After playing just a handful of games following the 2008 MLB Draft, Buster Posey entered the following season as the No. 14 prospect on Baseball America's top 100. A year later, he was up to No. 7, which proved to be far too low for a player who would lead the Giants to a World Series title that fall. 

There haven't been a lot of Giants position player prospects in the last 15 years to even approach the type of hype that Posey had. Brandon Belt was a sneaky-good prospect during his meteoric rise to the big leagues, Joey Bart spent a few years in the top 50, and Marco Luciano peaked at No. 12 before his slide, but this is not an organization that's used to having guys in the top 10 or even top 20 on the lists every spring.
