According to Baseball America, the Giants, as well as the Blue Jays, Mets and Rangers, are interested in 16-year old Jose Ricardo Garcia.
I feel guilty for copy and pasting directly from the page, as it's members only, but I'll summarize it:
Garcia is a 6'2", 190 lb OF. He's rigid in his approach, but has real raw power, and there are apparently no questions about his ability to drive the ball. He's strong enough to hit in the Bigs right now. He's a below average runner, but when he gets going his momentum helps him. He doesn't have that strong of an arm, so he is a Left Fielder in the making.
There are some questions on his approach, and how he handles pitches in on the hands and solid offspeed pitches are going to be key for him when he moves on to the States.
There wasn't any information on his handedness, but I assume he's a righty in both the field and at the plate. He sounds pretty impressive . . .speculate and discuss away, McCovenites!
