Giants second pick is Walker Martin a big time hitting SS.  Hit 636 with 20 HRs at his Colorado HS.  Downside he played the season at age 19

Why would this matter? It's not like his age on draft day is going to have any impact on how he develops as a prospect.

It sounds like the Giants did pretty well for themselves. I agree with a comment I saw on McCovey Chronicles. LHP Joe Whitman from Kent State is who the Giants got for losing LHP Carlos Rodon as Free Agent. It seems he probably has more upside than whoever the Giants would have received in exchange for trading Rodon last year.

How?  Have you seen Whitman pitch?  Do you know whom the Giants could have received in return?

Statistically, Whitman has less than a 50% chance to make the major leagues.

I enjoy all the draft  stuff. But for the vast majority of us, most of these are just names with numbers. And statistically, most of them will never see the major leagues.
