Stock seizes the spot in the lineup as Shafer nears retirement. Early form shows Stock is at least as good as Shafer was, filling the breach with steady conduct and solid performance.
The report notes Stock, at third base, quietly effective with constant energy. He reads tough hits well, can throw accurately from any position, and makes big plays when needed. Shafer is mentioned as comparison, while Stock stands out as a solid third baseman for the Giants.

Jesse Burkett, longtime baseball figure born in Wheeling West Virginia in 1870, led the National League in batting with Cleveland in 1895 and 1896 and again with St Louis in 1901.

In a recent appearance a heckler asked for a ball and Joe tossed one into the crowd causing a scramble as a young child seized it.
