CC, and he opened some eyes this summer thanks to the league’s best fastball. It sat at 93-95 mph in the FWL and touched 97. Cyr has a long, lean frame with room to add more weight. His changeup flashed plus potential out of the bullpen and he also mixed in a get-me-over slider. Cyr has issues commanding his pitches and throwing strikes in general, walking 17 in 15 innings while striking out 20. But he throws gas, and he could reward a pro club that takes a flier on him next June."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-41303448643199284632015-06-09T23:30:33.387-07:002015-06-09T23:30:33.387-07:00Thanks to you, Covechatter, and Shankbone for the ...Thanks to you, Covechatter, and Shankbone for the great work and thoughts on the draft! I like the Giants picks.. I'm excited that Beede is on the fast track and they add another right handed SP with a live arm in Bickford and two solid lefthanded SP'S in Suarez and Marshall. When I read that Miller projects to be the same type of offense player as Brandon Philips, that sounds good to me! Hope that Shaw can develop into a middle of the order bat, and have Brandon Belt looking over his shoulder! What I like is some of these players drafted between rounds 4 thru 10 sound like they have potential to develop into good pro players as well.. Even their 9th round pick David Graybill was drafted twice before.<br /><br />LGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-59663500217102554472015-06-09T22:54:58.133-07:002015-06-09T22:54:58.133-07:00Yup, really like all 3 of those picks plus Duggar ...Yup, really like all 3 of those picks plus Duggar and Viz. I'll have to check out the others. It was already a good draft on day 1, but Barr and his team hit it out of the park today! Everybody is drooling over the Astros right now, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think in 5 years we'll look back and say the Giants had a better draft.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-16013862914238424592015-06-09T22:40:35.383-07:002015-06-09T22:40:35.383-07:00Between Miller, Marshall and Jebavy I think the Gi...Between Miller, Marshall and Jebavy I think the Giants did extremely well today.

They will make it work. <br /><br />Suarez is a senior who thought he could improve on his second round selection from last year. He's not a typical senior with no leverage, but there is money to be had there. There is probably some savings to be had with Shaw, and Bickford will sign around slot (if he signs) like most of our st round guys do.<br /><br />Marshal agreed to a 615k bonus with the Astros, so we have an idea what he is looking for. His stock is a bit up, but we dont draft guys we dont think we can sign.mistglnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-10946562584430418512015-06-09T15:39:55.016-07:002015-06-09T15:39:55.016-07:00I'm pretty sure the Giants will get at least 9...I'm pretty sure the Giants will get at least 9 of their top 10 picks signed and will not lose future draft picks.

(the punishment for overspending.) This would make sense if the Giants have already decided that they are going to go after free agents that will cost them the 1st round picks anyway.swing4thecovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03879869291759416051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-28217546197801827122015-06-09T14:52:48.295-07:002015-06-09T14:52:48.295-07:00Love that they drafted Jose Vizcaino Jr. Just so ...Love that they drafted Jose Vizcaino Jr. Just so we can continue to look through the minor league rosters and continue to the see names of former Giants throughout. jjwsfgiantsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-53771966137719456902015-06-09T13:49:12.595-07:002015-06-09T13:49:12.595-07:00Now Vizcaino Jr?!?!?
