Giants Top 50 Prospects #46: Drew Biery

#46 Drew Biery. 3B. B-R, T-R. BD: 05-14-1986. 6'2", 215 lbs.

2009 Stats: Salem-Keizer(Short Season)- .326/.406/.484, 6 HR's.

Drew Biery was so sure that he wouldn't be drafted after finishing his senior season at Kansas State, he and his fiance scheduled their wedding for later in the summer. When the Giants drafted him in the 22'nd round, he had to ask for a couple of days off and take his honeymoon in the fall. Drew came out of the gate swinging and raked so hard that his teammates at Salem-Keizer nicknamed him "Biery Bonds". There is so much to like about Biery's season, the batting average, the OBP and decent power. As a senior draftee, he is quite old for his level and will have to develop fast. In his interview with Joe Ritzo on sjgiants.com, Fred Stanley mentioned the possibility that Biery could start the season in San Jose, and called him an "excellent" third baseman.
