However, the Giants seem to understand some things that no or not many other teams do. That's why the Giants took a now 2-time CY Young winner after 9 other teams had a chance, and didn't. They scouted and signed and developed Brandon Belt from the 5th rd, and got a potential GG shortstop with an average to + bat in like the second our third round. They also got 1st round talent in Kyle Crick in the supp.<br /><br />So honestly, it's a crap shoot...except the Giants have been beating the house more often than not. Kinda hard to argue with the results at the ML level, too..<br /><br />PS - They also got Angel Pagan for Ramon Ramirez and Andres Torres....I mean, seriously...RainBallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-61944238482152780752014-02-01T03:13:19.404-08:002014-02-01T03:13:19.404-08:00Once again, if you do this kind of comparison with...Once again, if you do this kind of comparison with individual draft picks for ANY team, you will quickly become convinced that your team is terrible at drafting. You can't go around examining the bark on individual trees and expect to find out what the forest looks like! you can make a case that the Cardinals have done a better job of drafting than the Giants over the past 5-10 years and even that is a close call. The Giants track record for scouting, drafting, signing and developing homegrown prospects is as good as any team in baseball!DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-7598441821931266622014-01-31T22:59:32.270-08:002014-01-31T22:59:32.270-08:00And Tommy Joseph helped them get Hunter Pence.And Tommy Joseph helped them get Hunter Pence.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-15569399090287828102014-01-31T21:29:13.998-08:002014-01-31T21:29:13.998-08:00I don't play fantasy baseball, but Jason Kipni...I don't play fantasy baseball, but Jason Kipnis 8 days a week. Cano is yesterday. Kipnis is now and the future. Stud. Give him some real world MVP votes why you're at it. 63rd overall pick in 2009 out of HS. Why didn't the Giants get this guy? Kidding. But they did pick up Tommy Joseph 8 picks ahead. Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483153782366187271noreply@blogger.com
