The Third Draft Day: A gripping, action-pac...znzzzzz

PrintBut there should be a place to bring up Diego Seastrunk, the GIants' 31st-round pick. He's now the official late-round prospect for McCovey Chronicles for a coupe of reasons:
- Dude has an awesome name.
- He actually has a MLB.com draft report, which means he is probably much better than a 31st-round talent.
- That draft report says he's a "line-drive machine" and that his makeup is "off the charts" -- and you know how expansive those charts are. They put those charts on, like, 16'x16' posterboard, so when a guy's makeup is off the charts? Just wow.
Maybe he'll go back to Rice for his senior year, but hopefully the Giants can tempt him with a) money, and b) the promise of being the Official Late-Round Prospect of McCovey Chronicles. This site has been widely recognized as one of the top 26 Giants blogs on the internet, so it's a pretty big honor.
Is anyone listening to the draft on MLB.com's drafttracker? I feel like I'm Jodie Foster in Contact, listening to static for the SETI program.

So the makeup range is “makeup concerns” to “makeup is off the charts”?
Merkin Valdez? Manuel Mateo? A rose by any other name...
Mayo checked the charts, and finding nothing, assumed the worst.

If you think his makeup is off the charts, you should see his costumes!

Ageists Revolt!
The Giants just drafted Gary Moran from Sonoma State. 24-year old Moran. Yes, he was drafted way back in 2004!!!! He missed two years due to a labrum tear, which has made his velocity slow to come back. But he’s another huge guy, 6’8", and his velocity could continue to improve.
He was the Division II Pitcher of the Year.

While it’s very cool that you went to school with Moran, I thought you went to school with the Cardinals shirt bandana guy. That would be even more impressive.

I mentioned Seastrunk over in a fanpost, where I declared him this year’s Juan Carlos Perez, if he signs.
The Giants have drafted like 20 guys who’re 6’4" or taller.

This year's JC Perez is Randolph Oduber
Hitting at the same school, he hit 32 home runs, 98, .995 slugging.
That is very close to Perez’s power numbers.

I dunno, I think Randolph Oduber is this year’s JC Perez, considering they both had monster seasons at Western OK St. Oduber’s a tough sign though, as he’s a frosh and he’s expressed that he wants to return to school for he has things to work on.

End of the speed era
Having watched the videos of the hitters we drafted (that had videos on mlb.com), I can say that the speed part of the speed-and-defense era is officially over. Some of those guys look like they’re trying not to show up Bengie Molina. I think this quote from Jonathan Walsh’s profile sums it up:
Running is not really a part of his game.

Well, it's no longer the overriding characteristic of the draft,
But between guys like Evan Crawford, Nick Liles, John Eshleman and Randolph Oduber, there are some speed guys that we took.
