Harper to SF #Confirmed

He followed Harper “when he was growing up”??


Gawd dayum, I am old...

Isn't Harper about 5 years older than Bart? I thought anyone 30 or older was old to college kids. They've really narrowed their focus.

EDIT: Harper is 4 years, 1 month and 29 days older than Bart.

 

[SFGRTB]

Still 17 picks until the next one for the Giants, but there are still some high-level names up there, especially on the pitching side.

 

[SFGRTB]

Seth Beer is going to the Astros. Probably wouldn't have been the best pick for the Giants anyway, unless the DH comes to the NL.

He has a big power bat, but like Bohm, he is limited to 1B. I would have been happy with him at 45, but 28 is too high.

 

[calsnowskier]

McClanahan, Rocker, Hjelle. I would be thrilled with any of them.

I expect the Rays or Royals to take McClanahan and I expect Rocker to be gone at 45. Hjelle is projected to go to the Giants at 45, and I am ok with that.

 

[calsnowskier]

Some speculation that the dogs were looking at Hjelle with this pick.

I'll add Kower and Hankins to that list.

 

[SFGRTB]

McClanahan to the Rays. Some serious lefty power pitching in their system now between him, Liberatore and McKay from last year. Wow

 

[SFGRTB]

Okay, two of those mentioned are off the board now. This is the area where a lot of these guys go, though, because these teams have more money to spend than the rest of the field.

 

[SFGRTB]

Well that round just crushed some of my dreams

Still have Rocker, Hjelle and de Sedas. No idea if de Sedas is still a draft prospect, though. He may have dropped enough that he is unsignable at this point.

I think de Sedas is going to school to help his stock.

 

[SFGRTB]

I still don't understand why the f**k the Cardinals are in the competitive balance round

 

[SFGRTB]

Two teams in front of the Giants and Rocker is still there. Would be extremely ideal.

 

[SFGRTB]

The Cardinals are going to have to go cheap here, so only the Tigers should be in their way.

Early on he was one of my faves for #2 overall

Would be AWESOME if we get him at 45

I'll be honest, might be tough for the Giants to sign him. But then again the Giants are probably one of the few remaining teams that could

 

[calsnowskier]

Rocker and Hjelle both avail. Good sign.
