Draft 2022

[Sandisfan]

I know Sabey Sabes used to love taking project arms like that in the draft. No idea what the success rate on those guys are, though.


But if you get 5 guys who get at least a cuppo out of a single draft class, you did pretty well, so there is that…

Although if every draft is guys who only get a cuppo the after 5 to 10 drafts you will probably be last most every year.

This isn't a highish 1st round pick like Beede, but how often do guys without control really develop in the Majors or even minors to make any impact on a good team? Does anyone know here of drafted guys from College who have solved at least well enough to do something at the Big Leagues?

My thoughts were triggered from someone on our Sharks forum on another site, had done year ago, the detailed research on one specific hockey position with particular attributes. His research showed that of drafted Defensemen if they didn't have a minimum amount of offensive points totals in CHL, College or European league that of those drafted over liked 30 years (not remembering the exact numbers so an approximation from flawed memory) only like 3 out of like 300 drafted with below threshold numbers even made the NHL. So with that in Mind I would have my people do studies on which types have the lowest hit rates whatever the position and attributes show a correlation. It would be a industry secret type thing with those results as to keep an advantage on your competition.

Just looking at the MLB ranks of the Giants picks, this is a horrible draft for the Giants.


I know those ranks you see on you monitor aren’t even worth the paper they are printed on. Just point8ng out that the Giants are really going against the grain with this draft.

I tried this strategy in my fantasy baseball league, reaching for premium position players earlier than their average draft position suggested that they would go. On a separate note, my fantasy baseball team is sitting in last place in its league. Still trying to figure out what went wrong.

Interesting that 9/10 picks so far are 21-22 years old. And the 10th is 24.

Hey the 10th round pick for the Giants last year was a bit older too.

There should be someone in the scouting department or analytics department that could answer that. How knows if anyone in the FO knows that answer.

Fun fact: I have a good friend with the same name as our 10th rounder last year. I send him updates on his progress from time to time. We went together to the only game we lost to the Brewers.

Not sure what that means.

What people sometimes forget is that Nick Lowry was drafted in round zero.

By WAR…



No current HOFers, but I think there is one with a strong chance and one with an outside shot to get enshrined in the future.

 

[calsnowskier]

For contrast…

Cards…



1 HOFer (borderline as he is), but no one with future potential.

Doggies…



1 future 1st ballot HOFer, one guy who MAY put together a HOF career.

Yankees



1 HOFer, one guy at the top of a lot of HOF snub lists and 1 potential future HOFer.

Red Sox



1 HOFer and one SERIOUS HOF snub

 

[calsnowskier]

Surprisingly, no team has more than 2 1st rounders who became HOFers

Next five picks:
11. Sam Bower RHP St. Mary's 4th year Sophomore 21 years old

13. Thomas Gavello C UOP 4th year Junior 21 years old
14. Nomar Diaz C Puerto Rico HS Senior 18 years old

10/15 P
3/15 C
2/15 OF

No IF...I guess we can always pick up a few with the churn...

 

[calsnowskier]

They know more about the kids available.
They know more about the kids we have in our system.
They know more about how to develop kids.
They know more.


Given that…


Are they fucking stupid? This is a ridiculous looking draft class.

Does he catch as well?

Nope ... I hear that they are bringing Posey back to work exclusivdly with Gonzalez ... then he will be able to play the putfield, catch and pitch ... all in the same gsme ... it slso allows them to use a draft pick for a non catcher .... maybe even a rare pick ... like a middle infoelder

17. Justin Bench SS Ole Miss 4th year Senior 22 yo
18. Tanner Thach 1B HS Senior 20 yo

I heard Buster is coming back to work exclusively with third basemen.

That would make logical sense. Not sure why they would want him talking catching(??).

 

[tzill]

19. Cade Perkins P HS Senior 18 yo
20. Ethan Long 1B ASU 4th year Senior 21 yo

totals:
Two Way Player - 1
Pitchers - 10
OF - 2
C - 3
2B - 1
SS - 1
1B - 2

So a fairly balanced draft. 10.5 pitchers, 9.5 hitters. 17 college, 3 HS.

Lets see how many they sign.
