PrintThis year the draft is being held June 7-9 in Secaucus, New Jersey. The first day will be televised by MLB Network with many of the top draftees in attendance along with Snooki and The Situation.
The Giants have the 24th pick in the first round. The next Giants pick will be the 74th overall.
My choices:
Christian Colon SS CSF
Stefan Sabol C/OF Aliso Niguel HS
Gary Brown CF CSF
ANY pitcher that Dick Tidrow recommends

Best talent available
With a lean toward SS/3B/CF/1B/SP
(btw wil, what happened to the other fanpost?)
Aaron King is still my homeboy... iffy mechanics and all
McFAQ for all you newcomers out there.
Unless Colon has huge contract demands he won’t fall that far. He started out slow, but is putting together a very good year and upping his draft stock.
Hector Sanchez: Underrated. Fighting body bias since the 2009 off season. I still love you, son, even if you're fat.
If we want Colon
Maybe we should sneak some GI prep in his drink. I sure that would clear any interest in him out.
Matt Graham is an anagram for .... why don't you ask the scrabble expert!
Remember, he is a Christian Colon. They can be kind of stubborn.

The question is: Could he handle the guilt when it comes back up the middle?

I’m kind of following the Anthony Ranaudo situation. I’m definitely rooting for his return to good health, but if he has some recurring issues, might that be the ‘Kyle Gibson super value pick’ of 2010?
Too early for sure but Ranaudo’s health could throw a real wild card into the first round.
Colon’s way gone by 24, right? I thought he was going top 10.

unless his arm is amputated, he will be long long long gone

hmmm. I’m pretty committed when it comes to the MLB draft.

Colon is having a pretty mediocre season so far. I think there is a slight possibility he could fall, but I still am weary of him mostly (as wil says above) because he is a Boras guy.

Well he was until he exploded last weekend. Really the best chance of him falling is probably due to the fact that scouts don’t view him as a SS. And college players projected as 2B usually aren’t taken at the top of the draft.

A hot August weekday, before a small crowd, when the only thing at stake is the tissue-thin difference between a thing done well and a thing done ill. Insofar as the clutch hitter is not a sportswriter's myth, it is a vulgarity, like a writer who writes only for money.
I’m with Roger on this one. Josh Sale would be a coup.

I’m in favor of people who agree with me.

The way that BA speaks of him, I am on board as well.

BA just called Sale both the best HS bat and the best HS power bat. If that’s the case he’s probably going top 10-15, right?
by Wonderful Terrific Monds on Mar 26, 2010 7:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, I am definitely intrigued, but don’t think there he’ll be available.

What about Bryce Brentz? I have no idea how he’s fairing in CF. I would imagine it’s an adventure and he’s probably a LF long term. The level of competition may be a concern as well, but it does appear the guy can mash.

Extraneous “i” alert.
Rooting for Jose Casilla to take his K- and GB-inducing skills to the majors and join his brother.
The Kids: Lewis, Posey, Sandoval, Bowker, Schierholtz, Frandsen, Ishikawa, Amezaga... CHONE WAR projection= 12.7
Current Team: Rowand, Sanchez, DeRosa, Sandoval, Huff, Molina, Renteria, Schierholtz... CHONE WAR projection= 12.6
With Bocock gone, I miss having a minor-league shortstop whose name sets up a lot of body-part-related humor. Colon would be a nice replacement.
Osiris, Lord of the Dead, and relief pitcher for the San Francisco Giants.
So you’re happy with the exchange of Tab A for Slot B?

Queen Size, actually.

there is no way Colon is available anywhere near the 27th pick

Can the Giants draft Snooki?
I've given up on adding to my Giants family and am coming to grips with remaining childless.

Go with what you know
and what you can’t mess up. Any pitcher I’m pretty much okay with given our great ability to development and teaching the change-up. Skip HS bats, that will only end in tears.

24th pick? Seriously?
Man, it sucks having the best record of all the non-playoff teams.

Fair chance we make up for it this year.

My current mock
has us taking Kaleb Cowart a 3B/RHP from Georgia HS who has garnered comps to Ethan Martin. If we could get Colon or Josh Sale that would be awesome.

Isn’t Colon the one who was allegedly caught with coke and runs the prostitution ring?
Hector Sanchez: Underrated. Fighting body bias since the 2009 off season. I still love you, son, even if you're fat.
Like someone else from last year?

This year's draft
is shaping up to be really strong in pitching, both at the high school and college level and there appears to be plenty of good arms projected to be available at #24. While I’d love to see the Giants get a good CF prospect, I have a strong suspicion Barr and Tidrow will not be able to overcome the temptation to take a pitcher, and given their track record, we should probably trust their judgement. BTW, the Giants were able to get Cain picking #25.
