Before we get started scouting round 3 for the Giants, Matt Garrioch has posted a 40 round mock draft over on Minor League Ball. Wow! Just wow! Just for fun, I may go back and try to get a scouting report on all 40 of the Giants picks although a lot of them are from small schools and JC's.
The Giants third round pick falls at #115 so let's look at some names in that vicinity(Some of these players may be of interest in round 2 also):
106. Martin Agosta, RHP, St Marys. We all know about Agosta. I think most of us would be happy with him in round 2 or 3.
108. Brady Rogers, RHP, Arizona State. A bit undersized and without overpowering stuff, he might be the most polished pitcher in the draft. Classic low ceiling/high floor guy with good command of a 4 pitch arsenal. Again, a solid pick in either round 2 or 3.
109. Kyle Hansen, RHP, St. John's. 6'8" with a low-mid 90's fastball. Shaky secondary stuff makes some scouts project him for the bullpen.
113. Fernando Perez, 3B, Central Arizona JC. Intriguing prospect. GED'd out of HS early to play in a JC wood bat league. Slash line of .338/.399/.571. Hits LH.
117. Buck Farmer, RHP, Georgia Tech. Big solid frame at 6'3", 228 lbs. FB 88-95 with a solid changeup and decent breaking ball. I'm a bit surprised to see BA rank him this low.
118. Kenny Diekroger, 2B, Stanford. Former HS phenom. Has seen his stock slip at Stanford. Isn't there something Stanford teaches that ruins hitters? His main attraction right now is versatility as he could probably play passably at every position except CF, C, P. We know John Barr loves to draft former phenoms whose stock has dropped.
119. Austin Maddox, RHP, Florida. 2 way player who will likely be drafted as a pitcher. I could see the Giants loving his 6'3", 235 lb frame and mid-90's fastball. Could be a fast riser as a reliever or a future starter as a project.
120. Brett Mooneyham, LHP, Stanford. Another former HS phenom, Has had a checkered career at Stanford. Great size at 6'5", 215 lbs with a low 90's fastball and a nice breaking ball. Has command issues at times.
121. Alex Bregman, 2B, HS. OK, Alex Bregman fans, here's your guy! Scrappy little guy with an impressive hit tool. The fact that he's a second baseman out of HS tells you something though. Committed to LSU and might be a tough sign, especially if he falls this far.
122. Damien Magnifico, RHP, Oklahoma. Radar gun star. Velocity has not translated into results. Siginificant injury history. Draft eligible soph makes him tougher to sign.

Bregman is my guy. I think the Giants could pop him in the 2nd for 600K slot and have a chance at signing, no chance at the 3 slot. He's from a upper middle class family in New Mexico, pops is an attorney.
ReplyDeleteMagnfico will get hype due to the 100 MPH, but he's not consistent enough to get drafted this early. He has Tidrow special written all over him.
Hey, thats where all those Pac10 pitchers went! BA buried a ton of people off the Top 100 list, there was serious movement this year. I like all those pitchers there. If I was running the draft I'd go 2 upside hitters first 2 picks and then start snagging the pitchers. With the first rounder I like Shaffer, Addison Russell, Courtney Hawkins and David Dahl. With the 2nd pick I like Bregman, Valentin, Ron Miller and DiMichelle. Third pick I'd like a Mooneyham, the St Mary's guys Wisdom and Agosta or Brady Rogers.
Eh, I think Bregman will probably go to LSU and turn into a Riot/Fonty type prospect.
DeleteI'd like to see them go Pitcher, pitcher, pitcher, Hensley, Agosta, Farmer/Maddox.
Kenny Diekroger was drafted as a SS by Tampa Bay out of HS if am not wrong. At that time he was considered a top 5 pick for this draft if he chose school but we all know what happens to hitters at Stanford (look at Austin Wilson, guy lost all his power). I wouldn't mind Giants taking him in the 3rd Round but as with Stanford hitting coaches, am very pessimistic about our hitting coaches at low/higher/MLB levels. My pick would be Magnifico, he's got Aroldis Chapman written all over him.
ReplyDeleteI think Magnfico has arm surgery written all over him.
DeleteI think Diekroger is an intriguing guy if available as late as round 3.
I'm wondering why Agosta dropped to #105.. It was fun to watch the game he pitched here against Hawaii.. Although smallish for a starting pitcher 6'1" 178, he has good stuff.. He had a good outing that night 7 IP 2 runs 4 hits 2 walks, 8 k's despite struggling with his command, 122 pitches thrown.. I remember him throwing his slider alot that night because he struggled with his fastball command thru the 1st 5 innings.. He looked dominating in the 6th and 7th innings. It'll be fun to see where he's taken..

Wow, I'm not sure I like any of these guys. Purdue's 3B Cameron Perkins (ranked lower) is more interesting to me than Bregman, Diekroger, or Agosta.
