IDK HOW I SHOULD BE RESPONDING!!11111!!`
is he on the level of Bum or Alderson?
Extremely proud adoptive parent of Paul E. Stanley, hacker extraordinaire
Thanks to roger
I've never been happier to have Crabs
I’d say he’s a pretty similar level prospect as Bumgarner was when he was drafted. He’s higher rated than Alderson was at the time.

well, I’ll take another Madbum for freaking sure

Very good Selection
I had a slight preference for Matzek but there’s not a huge amount of difference between them. Wheeler’s a very solid pick there so i’m happy!
Proud parent of Waldis Joaquin!
But Wheeler (supposedly) wants to sign, so maybe they were hesitant to break the bank on Matzek and they’re gonna spend it on Wagner Mateo…

I am A-ok with this pick. Maybe I would’ve preferred Matzek or Crow slightly, but this was definitely one of the top-notch pitching prospects out there (and I kinda had a gut feeling that he would be our guy given all the Matzek talk).
Random question: Does the selection of another young RHP increase the likelihood that Alderson could be part of a trade for a young bat?

Signability
Signability had to be a factor, since it was reported that Matzek wanted a huge signing bonus. Now this perhaps gives us money to sign another Free Agent or two from Latin America. I like that he says he wants to sign soon.

He did well overall, but I felt that he was pretty quiet for our second best hitter. He didn’t hit well when we needed him to, he did well when we were already leading.

I don’t think they do, normally, but when one of the really special guys is known to be there the next season, I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens. If Harper is going to be there next year and the Nats and some other team are neck and neck, you don’t see them trying a little less hard?

Nope
Keeping a roster spot on a big league team is too precious to expect players to try less hard to keep it.

it's not just you
i read somewhere that the writers had originally planned to kill him off early, but then liked the job matthew fox was doing so they decided to keep him alive. i wonder if that’s why— maybe they just didn’t have a plan for him as a character and so had to sort of make one up more on the fly?

NO NO NO
They planned to kill him off during the first episode, but then rewrote the whole show when they realized they weren’t going to do that.
They had done no writing when that decision was made. I guarantee that any dissatisfaction you feel over Jack’s character is unrelated to the outline of a script they never wrote.

That’s a weird rule…what’s the point of it. And, fine, they could have taken Matzek. Throw $7M at him. It’s worth it.

if they are really going to have to give Strasberg a ton of money, I can see why they wouldn’t want to give Matzek 7 on top of that. That said, I think they could have made a better choice than Storen.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
PABLO SANDOVAL AM STEAL DEATH, DESTROYER OF WORLDS.
Their pick was unprotected from the guy not signing. They HAD to take someone who will sign. I’m not sure why that’s hard for people to understand. It’s not like Storen is a terrible prospect.
They have the money. Again, they saved what, $2M? $3M? Maybe $4M? Draft picks are still being underpaid.

Wheeler is definitely a nice pick, but he obviously wasnt expecting to be drafted by the Giants. If they can get him signed quickly, that will be a good thing. After seeing the Matzek interview, kind of glad the G’s didnt pick him up. The kid looks like a total a-hole. The Dominguez and Joseph picks are quality as well. Nice job Giants.
