Ben Snyder got plucked out of the organization by the Rangers early in the major league phase. He's a solid prospect who should give them support in middle innings relief or possibly as a set up man down the road. He's a big, physical lefty who seemed to take to a relief role last season.
The organizations recent plethora of left handed pitching prospects left Snyder on the outside looking in.
Brian Horwitz, a fringe prospect as an outfielder, was selected by the Indians.
The Giants selected RHP Steven Johnson and LHP Jake Stevens from the Orioles. If the Orioles were that deep in pitching they would have finished with a better record.
Net loss to the organization. They have to find out what some of these guys can do earlier to keep from losing them in the future. Especially the LHP's, you can't hide them and if you don't give them a chance, another organization certainly will.
