Two weeks after preaching patience, Giants call up star prospect Joey Bart

On August 5, San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi went on 95.7 The Game's Damon, Ratto & Kolsky Show and said that top prospect Joey Bart "needed more minor league reps," adding that there was no timeline on a call-up to the majors. On Thursday, the Giants concluded that Bart has since gotten the proper amount of reps while training at an alternate site in Sacramento, and officially called him up to the big leagues, as reported by multiple publications.
