San Francisco Giants Face Tough Rule 5 Choice With This Top Prospect

The San Francisco Giants face a crucial decision regarding their young shortstop prospect, Aeverson Artega, who is currently their No. 11 prospect. Despite showing promise with his defensive skills and arm strength, Artega's hitting has been inconsistent, leading to concerns about his future development.

Artega's 2022 season was his best, but injuries and a decline in performance in 2023 have put him at risk of being unprotected in the upcoming Rule 5 draft. The Giants may also explore free agent options like Willy Adames, but finding a reliable everyday shortstop has proven challenging since Brandon Crawford's departure.

What are the implications of not protecting Aeverson Artega in the Rule 5 draft?How does Artega's injury history affect his future with the Giants?What other shortstop options might the Giants consider if they don't protect Artega?How has the departure of Brandon Crawford impacted the Giants' infield strategy?
