2015 MLB Draft

[tzill]

Shaw had a broken hamate bone last year. Dropped to comp round because of it.

sounds like a certain OSU catcher I seem to remember who may or may not be my avatar.

Would like to get a OF with the next pick.

mlb.com comments on Chris Shaw:

A 26th-round pick by the Mets from a Massachusetts high school in 2012, Shaw struggled as a Boston College freshman before breaking out in 2014. He led the Cape Cod League with eight home runs and established himself as the best power hitter in the 2015 college crop. He carried it over into his junior season before a broken hamate bone shelved him for a while. Shaw packs a lot of strength in his 6-foot-3, 248-pound frame and his well above-average pop extends to all fields. He can get too aggressive at times, though he does a nice job of shortening and controlling his left-handed swing. While he has arm strength and has played right field as a sophomore and junior, Shaw likely faces a move back to his freshman position of first base in pro ball. He's a well below-average runner but has the hands and enough athleticism to be a capable defender at first. A hamate injury won't deflate Shaw's stock and he still has the chance to join Chris Lambert (2004) and Tony Sanchez (2009) as the only BC first-rounders ever.

Good thing he's not a LEFT-handed power hitter, given our park.

Wait, what?

That's one heckuva yarmulke he's wearing.

And is that a matzo ball he's making?

Giants won't often get high draft grades/sexy praise. Yet somehow it's all worked. Though I'd like to have a "TOP" prospect again some time. Fun to imagine

SF scouting director John Barr: "To get a power arm and a power bat our 1st two picks we're pretty excited. the room has been pretty happy."

They just listed teams with 11 or more hone grown players on the current 25-man, and they did not mention the Giants. I guess they do not count Vogey...

Posey
Susac
Belt
Panik
Crawford
Duffy
Lincecum
Bumgarner
Romo
Heston
Vogelsong

That's 11.

I would love to get this kid Demi Orimoloye .

Big huge strong dude. 6' 4" . Huge arm. Can run some. Projects to a RF in the Bigs.

This guy might be the next Vlad ! Wow ....get this guy.


Please let us get this guy...please . This guy is a fucking beast.

Dude, did you write this in Polish then run it through Google translator?

Tak

This draft is exactly how the Giants have done them in the past. Totally formulaic.

Draft guys who were at one time much higher prospects but have fallen recently for one reason or another.

Bickford was a 1st round pick for the Blue Jays in '13 (10 overall). Beede was a former 1st rounder for the Jays as well (#21 in '11).

 

[Hangman]

Fast Time only fell cause he likes to smoke the weed. Otherwise he was a top 10 player. MLB Network compares him to Big Time Timmy Jim in terms of mechanics and stuff. That ain't so bad. He just has a funky delivery otherwise he'd have been top 5.

 

[Band of Brothers]

This kid CF Braden Bishop looks good. Good bat speed. Gap line drive hitter which fits AT&T Park. Great defensive ballplayer also.

Tak

Tak, tak, tak. All I hear from you is tak. Tak is cheap.
