If this is the guy the Giants end up with, I would be OK with it. But given the crowded list of pitching prospects already in the pipeline and the paucity of quality, near MLB ready bats.........I mean......don't you think a college hitter might be a go at #14? You would get a guy who would be close to MLB ready and it's not like the Giants are the youngest everyday lineup in the bigs right now. I'm just saying.
from McCovey Chronicles:
Giants rumors for the 2014 Draft - McCovey Chronicles:
"Baseball America has a mock draft up, and it's free for the unwashed regulars who don't subscribe. Here's who they have the Giants picking at #14:
... personnel director Dick Tidrow would be just the guy to bring the most out of Vanderbilt’s erratic ace Beede.
Projected Pick: Tyler Beede"'via Blog this'
Let's see, he's tall. And he throws the ball much harder than I can. From Minor League Ball:
On the mound, Beede possesses the stuff of a top line arm. His fastball sits 92-94 and can get up to 97. When he works down in the zone, it has good movement. His curveball is 80-83 with hard downward action. When he's on, it's an out pitch. I've seen him throw a slider but it doesn't hold up well. His change is in the 78-82 MPH range and is spectacular at times showing great depth and fade. It's a plus-plus pitch at times.
Beede was drafted 21st overall in 2011 and didn't sign, so it looks like he walked the hot coals pretty danged well, coming out a similarly touted prospect on the other side.
