Casey Mize, Auburn (a consensus #1 choice)
Matthew Liberatore, a HS pitcher from the Phoenix area
Brady Singer, University of Florida
If SF selects Liberatore, I would be very happy - Cain And Bumgarner were both high schoolers they were drafted.
I think the Giants take pitching this year. This is an important draft for them, they can get a lot of talent and really restock their minors.
I think they take pitching. I'm worried they take a college pitcher, hopeful they take Liberatore.
BTW, the Giants are hitting .379 with the bases loaded, tops in the majors.
Crawford's hitting .295, but his .761 OPS is just 10th in the majors among shortstops. Belt on the other hand, is second in MLB for OPS for 1st basemen. Longoria is #16. Posey is #6.
Giants are #16 in runs scored and team OPS. #19 in HRs. #3 in strikeouts. Giants are #27 in fielding percentage (.980), but #1 in double plays (49). They are #18 in ERA and #20 in WHIP. Don't really understand that.
