Wendell Fairley is off to a bad start to his career for the San Francisco Giants
20-year old lefty swinging outfielder Wendell Fairley is off to a rough start to his professional career. Fairley was the #8 prospect in the Giants’ farm system coming into this season according to Baseball America’s Prospect Handbook. He has played in only 16 games in Rookie Ball this season and he is 14 for 64 (.219 avg, .547 OPS) with 10 runs scored, 0 homers and 8 RBIs. The Giants took a big chance on Fairley and they will likely bring him along slowly.
