Marco Luciano and Tyler Fitzgerald are both shortstop options for the San Francisco Giants, but which player should the franchise allow to take the reigns of the position?

During this week’s action on The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, guest host Allen Stiles was joined by Fansided’s Giants writer Jeff Young to dive into the shortstop conversation, look ahead at San Francisco’s road to playoff contention, and much more.
