Scouting the Draft: Day 2 Preview

Andy Seiler has a list of players from his pre-draft top 100 who are still on the board. Just find the link at the top of the column on the left and click on that. Thinking ahead about who the Giants may be looking at for their second round pick, #76 overall there are several names who might balance out the Brown pick nicely:

First of all, there are several names who many thought would go in the first round such as Stetson Allie and Brett Eibner. Austin Wilson is still on the board as is Yordy Cabrera. They should either be gone or considered extreme signability problems by the time the Giants turn comes up again.

Jedd Gyorko is the 10'th name on the list. Maybe the Giants were scouting him for the second round? He would be a nice balance to Brown. Looking farther down the list, there's Joe Leonard, 3B from Pitt and later Rob Segedin, a ferocious hitter from Tulane. They would balance the Brown pick with some power potential. Derek Dietrich is a possibility too. As for pitchers, there are a number of solid college arms including Kyle Blair, Addison Reed, Sam Dyson, Rob Rasmussen. They could pop for a high upside HS arm D'Andre Smelter too. Of course there's also Leon Landry,Tyler Holt and a whole host of CF types, but we already drafted Brown. I guess you can never have too many, right?

Anyway, I find rounds 2-10 to often be more intriguing than round 1 so I'll be back tonight to recap the Day 2 proceedings.
