Re: Giants' Rule-5 Picks
San Francisco de Mac., DR
Height: 6-2
Weight: 215
Bats: Left
Throws: Left
Drafted: Not drafted
How Acquired: International Free Agent (July 2003)
Selected by San Francisco in the Rule 5 Draft (Dec. 2007) Scouting Report: Capellan works with an arsenal of three pitches that he mixes in well. His fastball sits around 89-91 mph which moves away from righties and in on lefties. Doesn't get enough swings-and-misses with his fastball, but he does have good command to paint corners. His mid-70s curveball has plus-potential with a nice bite, but Capellan still needs to perfect his command of the pitch. The curve is his best pitch, and he uses it to get out of jams very well. Variations of his curve can also get up to the mid 80s with slurve-type movement. His changeup sits around 78-79 mph and is average to above average. Capellan's 3/4 delivery is fairly smooth and repeatable. As a lefty, he has a quick sidearm pickoff move to first base. Great clubhouse guy, mature and intimidating mound presence. Good focus. Needs to work on keeping his weight down

Great clubhouse guy, needs to keep his weight down?
I can see the food court fights with Molina already! Replace Kline now!

Re: Giants' Rule-5 Picks
But Capellan is an interesting talent. If there's anything the Giants scouting can be counted on, it's finding underappreciated pitchers.
Ciriaco seems like filler to replace any departing middle infielders from Fresno.
