Oh my goodness.

 

I'm really nervous now.

Please don't take Heyward Seattle. I really want him!!....

Borbon sounds like Juan Pierre with alittle more power to me

 

He's another Damon. And he's a college guy who could/should move fast.

I don't think I'd mind Borbon but I doubt we take him...

Giants seem to set themself up with future pitching better than most organizations.

That is a pretty lofty comparison. I've heard it before, but thats pretty a high compliment. I don't like Borbon because he doesnt walk enough.

Porcello please, if we can sign him

I'd love to get Borbon, but I love me some potential. Heyward would be sexy. Then again, Aumont could be hot. Can't go wrong with a big guy already hitting the 90s in HS.

Fair enough. I like him because he can play center and what he loses in OBP he makes up for in SLG.

Ugh. I just have a bad feeling about our pick. I'm really nervous we are going to take a Nick Schmidt or something.

Scouting Report: The top college outfielder in a draft virtually devoid of them, Borbon broke his ankle during an intrasquad game a week before the spring season started. He made it back to the Tennessee lineup by the end of March, but he had just two home runs and seven doubles in 143 at-bats. He had not shown the consistent hard contact that made him Team USA's catalyst last summer, when the college national team brought home a gold medal from the World University Championship in Cuba. At his best, Borbon is a top-of-the-order hitter who makes sharp contact and changes games with his plus speed. He's more than a slap-and-run type, with above-average bat speed and some sock in his bat. A Dominican native, he has an aggressive approach and doesn't walk often. His defense is adequate, but he could improve his reads and routes. A popular comparison for Borbon is Johnny Damon, for the pop in his bat as well as his speed and well-below-average arm. He was expected to be taken in the first round despite a lackluster junior year.

Post Heywards to get people excited about him.

I will be disappointed if not Heyward or Porcello. If not one of those, I will laugh at our "best player available" claim.

Jason Heyward, of

School: Henry County HS, McDonough, Ga. Class: Sr.

B-T: L-L. Ht.: 6-2. Wt.: 198. Birthdate: 8/9/89.

Scouting Report: Along with Brackman, Heyward has as much upside as any player in the draft. He possesses a rare blend of strong tools and feel for all phases of the game. He draws physical comparisons to Fred McGriff, while his tools are similar to Willie McCovey's and his approach is comparable to Frank Thomas'. Heyward's father played basketball at Dartmouth and his uncle played basketball for John Wooden at UCLA. He led McDonough High to the school's first state championship in baseball as a junior, when he was used as a center fielder, first baseman and pitcher. He'll play right field as a professional, where he's a solid-average defender with average arm strength. He's an average runner. His plate discipline and pitch recognition are outstanding, though some scouts left his games frustrated that he wasn't more aggressive. He rarely misses his pitch, and he shows above-average bat speed and a willingness to use the whole field. He has plus-plus raw power. Heyward will need to lower his hands in his set-up to improve his ability to get backspin on balls, helping his power translate into more home runs.
