Scouting the Draft: Possible Compensation Round Picks

The Giants have a golden opportunity to turn this draft into an epic haul of talent with their B2B Compensation Round picks at #68 and #69.  Here are some names ranked or mocked at those two slots:

Fangraphs:

#68. Kevin Parada C, HS.  Not super enthusiastic about this name.  There are others I am higher on listed later.

#69.  Hudson Haskin CF, College(Tulane).  Probably should do a profile on him.  Tall, athletic and toolsy.  Has hit very well in college.  Power has lagged but has power potential.  Giants could do worse with the pick.

MLB Pipeline:

#68.  Dylan Crews C/OF, HS.  Now we're talking!  Some rankings have him in the first round and has been compared to Mike Trout, although that is grossly unfair to the kid.  Stock has dropped to the point he may be undervalued now.  If he drops this far, could be the steal of the draft.

#69.  Ryan Hagenow RHP, HS.  If the Giants were to snag Crews and Hagenow with these two picks and get them signed, I would be ecstatic.  Hagenow is a beast now and has all kinds of room to fill out.  Think a younger, bigger version of Brady Singer.

Draftsite:

#68.  Jackson Wolf LHP, College(West Virginia).  Interesting, late blooming college LHP who looks like he has some upside.  Tall and gangly but the awkwardness makes his stuff play up.  Might be a reach at #68 and available later in the draft.

#69.  Kevin Abel RHP, College(Oregon).  Decent college pitcher but last pitched as a freshman in 2018 due to TJ surgery.  I think the Giants can do better here.

Prospects Live:

#69.  Mario Zabala CF, HS.  Toolsy HS CF from Puerto Rico. Swing is raw but has tools to take it to the next level with strong coaching.

#69.  Yohandy Morales 3B, HS.  Power hitting corner IF.  Could turn into something special if he can stick at 3B.

Others to consider here:

Enrique Bradfield OF, HS.  Maybe fastest player in the draft with good plate discipline.  Looks a bit like Dee Gordon in videos. This demographic has not translated well to the pros in recent drafts.

Markevian Hence RHP, HS.  Small kid with a rubber arm and a big fastball.  I'd draft him for the name alone.

Coby Mayo 3B, HS.  Another power hitting corner IF.  Athletic enough to move to OF.

TJ McCants SS, HS.  Very similar looking player to Grant McCray who the Giants drafted in round 3 last year.

Blaze Jordan 1B/DH, HS.  OK, here's a name.  As a universal DH gets closer to reality, I could see FZ wanting The Home Run Derby Kid AKA Country Breakfast Jr.  In fact, there's no guarantee Jordan makes it to the Giants second pick at #49 overall.  If he does, I would not be shocked to see the Giants snag him there.  Light tower power and a DH would give him two ways to be in the lineup every day.

I'd love to see the Giants swing for the fences with these picks since they are extra picks and the farm system is already strong.  Playing with house money.
