Meanwhile, the 17-year-old Hernandez is right on his heels in the second slot within the organization’s list of top hopefuls. They have both baffled scouts and coaches with their big-league-ready approach and mature attitude.<\/p>\n \u201cFor them to be 17 and 18 years old and to be here is pretty impressive,\u201d San Jose Giants manager Ydwin Villegas said.<\/a><\/p>\n Luis Hernandez is NOT a Runner-Up<\/p>\n Gonzales was already established as the best prospect in the organization by the time Hernandez was signed. With future franchise player Bryce Eldridge<\/a> being promoted permanently to the big club’s roster, the multi-talented sensation catapulted to the top of the club’s rankings.<\/p>\n However, Gonzales isn’t the bridesmaid of the two. Just as talented as his older teammate, Hernandez might possess the most talent of any athlete in the organization. He could be the ultimate pick to be turning two for ‘Frisco in the future.<\/p>\n \u201cPlaying against veteran players gave me a lot of confidence,” Hernandez stated<\/a> when asked what he has learned so far in his brief time with San Jose. “I learned the game there, came (to the Giants) with more confidence, and now feel like I can adjust and do things because of that experience. It slowed everything down for me.\u201d<\/p>\n One member of the duo will likely assume the role as the cornerstone, everyday shortstop in San Francisco, with the other likely playing another position. Gonzalez looks suited for a move to third base, but potential injuries, inconsistencies, and even trades could occur if the team calls an audible on their advancement. Alongside their contemporaries, no matter who comes out on top, both players represent the next generation of Giants baseball.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
