Open Draft Thread
It kicks off at 10:00 Pacific, and kudos to MLB.com for finally giving fans some access. It isn't going to be necessary to hit refresh 40 times in a round, as they will be announcing the picks here.
Of the people the Giants are rumored to take, I'm a Kyle Drabek fan. However, I was geeked on the kid Parmalee before he was linked to the Giants, so I wouldn't be upset if they reached for him at #10. Either Drabek or Parmalee would suit me fine.
Of course, if one of the top prospects fell -- like Miller, Longoria, or Hochevar -- I would love to see Sabean take a Diamondbacks/Angels approach and nab the best available player, budget be damned.
I'd also like a magic bean that makes me know what I'm talking about when it comes to the amateur draft. It's fun to speculate, though, even if the speculation is wild.

OK, with that out of the way, here are some thoughts:
1.) I love having draft picks. It's nice being able to participate in all the rampant speculation and hope around this time of year.
2.) Daniel Bard is my preference of the folks linked to the Giants. He has a nice combination of present skills-future potential.
3.) I like Kyle Drabek, too, and have heard nothing that would scare me away from him in terms of "makeup." He seems a little riskier, though, than Bard. I'd be thrilled if the Giants took either Bard or Drabek.
4.) I have no problem with Chris Parmelee. By all accounts, it's a weak draft. If Sabean and Tidrow decide the cost isn't worth it for someone else, Parmelee seems like a reasonable choice.
5.) I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Bard?
If we take Bard at #10, I would pick a high ceiling HS pitcher like Matt Latos, Caleb Clay or even Dellin Betances at #33, although Betances might still be there at #89. I know the Giants are very interested in upgrading their organizational catching as well they should be. I projected Sapp as a darkhorse for #33 so I wouldn't be upset at that.
On a side note, BA has Hank Conger falling to #34. I wonder if that's because teams don't think he'll stay at catcher of if they think he wants to go to USC. If it's the latter, I would think he would fall out of the top 5 rounds altogther.

Mayo latest musings
10. San Francisco Giants: Daniel Bard, RHP, University of North Carolina
Bard's name has been mentioned more strongly with the Mariners at No. 5, so the Giants may be left with the other college pitchers, though Miller and Lincecum don't make sense. There's been noise of a deal with Chris Parmelee, a high-school bat, but I still like the Giants sticking with their M.O. and going with the big right-hander.
Previous projection: Bard.
According to him too, Drabek now goes to Dodgers at #7 because their target Clayton Kershaw would go to Detroit at #6.
What's wrong with Lincecum anyway? He seems to be very highly rated as a pitcher, some say he could come to the majors and pitch later this season. The main complaint I've read is that he has an unusual delivery, however, it hasn't affected him because they also say he has a rubber arm.

BA has Lincecum as the #2 Draft Prospect
Lincecum has a resilient arm; he throws constantly, often long-tossing the day after his starts. His unorthodox delivery has been described as resembling a pinwheel as he rocks back, makes his body do most of the work and seemingly brings his lightning-quick arm along for the ride. It gives him deception and tremendous stuff, and he has never complained of soreness or pain, nor has he missed a start. His delivery, resilient arm, size and stuff remind many scouts of Angels set-up man Scot Shields, and most scouts think Lincecum will thrive in a relief role. His present stuff rivals any pitcher in the draft, and he should move quickly. Lincecum's father helped develop his mechanics.

Re: Open Draft Thread
The Giants always play the draft close to the vest and never let out they were on Washington righthander Tim Lincecum, the one player everyone liked but no one would commit to wanting to select. Lincecum went 12-4, 1.94 with an NCAA Division I with 199 strikeouts. His fastball gets into the upper 90s, meaning Lincecum is the type of power arm San Francisco scouting director Dick Tidrow loves. Lincecum, whose $1 million bonus demand dropped him to the Indians in the 42nd round last year, should earn considerably more than that from the Giants, and could end up wearing their uniform before the season ends.

Re: Open Draft Thread
Lincecum has crazy, lights out stuff. His fastball is 95-98, and he maintains his velocity late in games. His curveball has some serious drop, and he throws it with power.
I saw a video of him somewhere and I'm no expert but his delivery didn't seem that out of sorts to me. I'm pretty excited about this pick the more I hear and think about it. He clearly was one of the top pitchers in the draft, with talk of him possibly in the Top 5. There was a mock draft on MLB.com that mentioned his name often for the first 10 picks, which caught my attention.
Burriss is in the mode of what Sabean has already said that baseball is shifting to, that of speed again, and shown by all the speed demons he has percolating up the farm system.

Re: Open Draft Thread
Also, given that the Giants homepark is a big drag on power - 90/100 for HR, particularly bad on LHH not named Barry Bonds - perhaps Sabean thought that he would build the Giants on speed since power doesn't work as well at home. Snow, for example, as maligned as he was by some home fans, he still averaged around 25 AB/HR on the road during the 2000's until last season - that works out to about 25 HR in a full season, which was good, though not great power, for a 1B.

Everyone who prognosticated that the Giants would start going for upside HS arms starting in the third was clearly insane. Not that they weren't right, but I tend to think most of you people are nuts anyway.

Lincecum...
- Anybody know the phonetic pronunciation of his name?
- All those concerns about pitch counts and mechanics, sure, but Will Carroll writes today that he will "be a steal no matter where he is picked." The only player in the draft Carroll mentioned. I'll take it.

Re: Open Draft Thread
I found out where videos of prospects are. You need to pull up the popup window for the draft (I clicked to listen to the draft) and to the right there is a link saying "Draft Prospects A-M".
Don't know if my memory is playing tricks on me, but if you look at the video for him, near the end they switch the view to his right side and his throwing motion made me think of Greg Maddux. Anybody else see that? If not, did you see anyone else?

Ben Snyder at 116
137. Ben Snyder, lhp
School: Ball State. Class: So.
Hometown: Bellevue, Ohio
B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 200. Birthdate: 7/20/85.Scouting Report: Snyder's older brother Brad is an Indians outfield prospect who went 18th overall in the 2003 draft. Ben won't go that high, but he should go in the first five rounds because he's a classic pitchability lefthander with a strong competitive makeup. His forte is throwing four pitches for strikes. His fastball usually ranges from 85-88 mph and occasionally touches 90, but he can put it where he wants. Even when it sits at 84-86 mph, he gets by with his ability to sink, cut and command it. His curveball is average, and he enhances it by adding and subtracting velocity from it. His changeup is a good weapon, though at 81-82 mph it could use more separation from his fastball. If his changeup doesn't have its normal sink, it gets hit. He also throws a cut fastball that he calls a slider. The top prospect in the Great Lakes League last summer, Snyder has additional bargaining power. He's a draft-eligible sophomore after redshirting in 2004.

Keith Law's ESPN Insider writeup on Lincecum
"The circus freak among this year's top prospects, Lincecum might not even reach 5-foot-10 in heels, weighs less than Old Weird Harold, and has a delivery that draws comparisons to a catapult, but his one-two combination of a mid-90s fastball and an outstanding downer curveball might be the best two-pitch tandem in the draft. He has a simple plan: get ahead with two fastballs, then put hitters away with the deuce. However, Lincecum's size, unorthodox delivery, heavy workload -- he threw relief in midweek games four times this spring, and threw eight or more innings seven times -- and mediocre control all point toward a bullpen role in the pros. The limited data on Lincecum as a reliever supports the argument; in the Cape Cod League last summer, Lincecum threw 19.1 innings across 16 relief appearances, allowing one run, walking four batters and fanning 42. If the team that drafts him does put him in the pen, he's likely to be the first 2006 draftee to reach the majors."

Re: Open Draft Thread
Here's a snippet on Lincecum that I thought was informational:
Dick Tidrow, San Francisco's vice president of player personnel, was also high on the pitcher's versatility as a starter or reliever."We like his arm, his stuff and his athleticism," said Tidrow. "He's got a power arm with good breaking stuff. He's a fast mover who can pitch in either a starting or relief role."
Lincecum has been described by scouts as mature and ready to pitch at a higher level. In addition to his break-the-sound-barrier fastball and "hammer" of a curve with its vicious downward arc, he also owns a good slider, which he can use as a first-pitch strike.
Knutson says Lincecum, who turns 22 on June 15, also has the perfect mind-set for the mound.
"He loves to pitch and is very competitive," said Knutson. "He wants to win and was an excellent teammate for three years. I can't find anything bad about him in his abilities as a pitcher."
Of course, Knutson is biased being Lincecum's college coach.
