RHP out of college with the 10th pick? sounds familiar.  let's hope he's as good as Lincy

An overgrown fireballer with little polish.  I really hope we don't get that guy with our first pick.

I wonder why Wieters isn't in the top 10.

FWIW, Brackman never met expectations as a basketball player at NC State.  I remember when he came in, he was supposed to DUNK!

If we drafted Andrew Brackman first, I'd be beyond pissed.  The likelihood of us being able to draft him and then an impact hitter like LaPorta or Mills is virtually impossible.

I'd MUCH rather draft Wieters if he's available than Brackman, he's gotten quite a few comparisons to Jason Varitek.  Plus, it's incredibly difficult to find good catching prospects.  I wouldn't mind if we drafted Mitch Canham later on in the round, either.

Colorado drafting Matt Dominguez?  What's the point of that, when they already have blocked infielders up the wazoo?

I like Jonathan Mayo, but everyone please keep in mind that the order the draft goes in after #1 is nearly impossible to guess.  There's no clear-cut 1-10 here.

I can't see the Giants taking Brackman. I'm sure they'd like to have him, but he's going to be really expensive -- too expensive I suspect for Sabean's tastes.

I bet they're looking heavily at Beau Mills, Matt LaPorta and the high-upside high school arms -- such as Parker, Aumont, Bumgarner, etc. I just hope they don't draft a bunch of speedy guys who can't hit.

Wow...now that's an interesting Mock Draft....Wieters not in the Top 10?  Wow.

Even with Wieters' struggles, I can't envision not taking him.  That said, I'd love to see some scouting video on him like MiLB.com has provided with many other top prospects.

I get the feeling that a lot of people didn't actually read the reports.  The Giants one contained one interesting note: They [The Giants] generally scout players based on their abilities only and don't shy away from signability concerns.

I know people have this long-held belief that Sabean is a cheapskate when it comes to the draft based on the "Giving Away Of Draft Picks " (It's really just one)........but anyone care to back up that assertion that the Giants have ever been 'cheap' when they actually have drafted?

In Sabean's first draft, and highest ever pick pre-Lincecum was Matt White, the mother of all signability issues...and that didn't work out too well, unfortunately.  They went after Travis Ishikawa, who dropped because of signability concerns, and got him.  They went after Tanner, who was considered a pretty strong lock (even by Tanner's own words, when he talked with me.  He had no idea he'd ever give up his Pepperdine dream he'd had since he was a kid).  If I remember right (and I might be wrong), EME had signability issues, too.

The Giants have definitely drafted differently than some have wanted.  They've valued pitching highly.  They've gone after fast rising risks (like Aardsma).  But can anyone definitely say they've ever drafted cheaply?

That's the biggest thing I've seen coming out of NC State since Tom Burleson, and he was a stiff!! However, how can anyone not like the pick of a near 7 footer who throws 97mph?? That's got to be intimidating to major league hitters. I liked the comment by the writer that the Giants don't worry about signability, they just worry about getting the best player. That's a big change from the old philosophy of forfeiting your number one pick.
