2024 Draft

[LHG]

I have been completely oblivious to any information about the upcoming draft but I realized that is going to be soon so I thought it was time to start talking about it.

I'm not real knowledgeable about the best collegiate and high school players so I just went on mlb.com to see what they have posted. Found this mock draft, where they have the Giants picking 2 way high school player Cam Caminiti. And in case you are wondering, yes he is Ken Caminiti's son.

I haven’t read the article (yet), but I was VERY critical of the team drafting 2-way kids the last couple years, and so far, those picks have looked to be big winners (early, of course, but Crawford and Eldridge both look very promising). Not sure I trust nepo-picks, but they do work out occasionally (Bonds, Griffey, Witt…) I guess, so…

I have not read a single word about the draft this year. I used to get so excited for the draft. Not so much anymore…

I think this reflects the board as a whole. Of course, we lost some guys who were big draft nerds.

Yeah. Losing sfgrtb was a big loss for the board. I still wonder what happened to him.

Really hope he is okay.

 

[calsnowskier]

I kinda don’t want to know. Schrödinger’s Cat, and all…

Probably won the lotto. I heard those people seem to forget friends, family and favorite baseball teams.

I certainly hope so.

Like an earlier report I read, Bleacher Report projects the Giants to pick Cam Caminiti (edit: the article won't properly link here):

However, Jim Boden ranks Caminiti as the 22nd top prospect in the draft:

So, basically, no one has any idea who the Giants will take. LOL

 

[LHG]

It would seem that way. Another name I saw was a pitcher named Yesavage. the author on the MLB mock draft stated that if he was available when the Giants picked that they were likely to take him but he thought that pitcher would be snatched by another team before the Giants.

The Giants hold the 13th overall pick later today and do not pick again until the 4th round. They have one of the lower bonus pools in this year's draft at $7,566,200. They can exceed that amount by 5%, so it's closer to $7,940,000 but still on the lower side.

This cannot happen again.

That’s what happen when you spend money in FA.

It depends upon the FA you get.

 

[LHG]

That’s what happen when you spend money on FAs with QOs.

FIFY

 

[calsnowskier]

I have seen a few names mentioned in relation to the Giants, though I have low confidence in any of these names…

Cam Caminiti (Ken’s cousin, not his son)
Nick Kurtz
Kash Mayfield
Carson Benge (2-way player)
Theo Gillen

I've seen a few mentions of Honeycutt and haven't seen anything about Benge.

 

[calsnowskier]

Kurtz off the board at #4. Just missed him with our #13 pick

 

[Hangman]

Yeah. Losing sfgrtb was a big loss for the board. I still wonder what happened to him.

I thought he became a reporter for a minor league team Or maybe I am thinking of someone else

That was Matt (GiantsPackersKings, or something similar)
