Rule IV draft

by zeisenbe on Jan 1, 2008 5:22 PM PST

As everyone probably knows, the giants have the fifth pick of the june draft, so I was wondering what peoples takes are on who we should draft. After doing some research, it seems the concensus is we will take justin smoak or eric hosmer. I don't know much else other than they are power hitting first basemen. Anyone care to educate me?

Re: Rule IV draft

You do realize that we'd be drafting him as a pitcher, not a hitter, right?

Sorry, couldn't resist!

I read that report a while back and have been very high on Hosmer ever since. He sounds like an amazing prospect.

Re: Rule IV draft

smoak is a stud. paired with villalona we could have a nice middle of the order in 2011. by then we will almost be done paying zito and lincecain should be about to cash in.
