Alright, so I did this last year and it seemed to work out well and people liked it. This is a spot where we can keep tabs on to 40 players selected by the giants the past few days through twitter, facebook, their local newspapers etc. If you spot an announcement of a signing or any info or indication that a guy will or will not be signing, post it here and i'll update the list. I'll also update which guys start being assigned to short-season ball in Salem-Keizer or even Augusta if that is that case. Last year with the draft money slotting system and the earlier deadline we saw a lot of signings happening rather quickly after the draft, more so than in years past. So this should be a good spot to combine everything we hear into one spot where we can discuss and speculate. So let me know if you hear any news or find one of the guys i'm missing on twitter.
For reference, here is the list of the giants draft picks this year:
