Thirdly, a trivia question of sorts. What was the Giants' best draft in a calendar year?

I'm not sure which single year had the best draft class but picking Lincecum, Bumgarner, and Posey in back-to-back-to-back years is hard to beat.  (2006-2008 drafts).

Zack Wheeler in 2009 has also done well, just not for the Giants.  (Philly and NYM)

"On July 28, 2011, the San Francisco Giants made a trade that could have been the worst in the team's long history. Desperate to make up for the loss of Buster Posey to injury, the Giants traded Zack Wheeler, their top pitching prospect, to the Mets for veteran outfielder Carlos Beltran."

from the Beyond Chron blog. Almost as bad as Cepeda for Sadecki.
