The Giants pick up two prospects in the scramble that goes on annually for International prospects ( analysis from Baseball America below ) . Pena seems more intriguing than Fabian but both were ranked in the 30-50 category. The AL East teams seem to be gobbling up almost half of the top 30 guys.

Top 30 International Prospects For July 2 - BaseballAmerica.com:
Bryan Pena is one of the top power bats in the Dominican Republic. He can go deep routinely in batting practice and had superlative timing for one of the best games of his life, as he hit two home runs in a Dominican Prospect League game in January in front of hundreds of scouts. A big lefty at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, Pena hasn’t brought that power to the games as frequently as some would like to see, especially for a player who will likely be locked in to first base, but his offensive potential is promising. Pena has drawn heavy interest from the Giants.'via Blog this'

Top 30 International Prospects For July 2 - BaseballAmerica.com:
Another Dominican outfielder linked to the Giants is Sandro Fabian. At the MLB showcase in January, Fabian went 4-for-6 with a walk, though his game performance has been up and down. At 6 feet, 180 pounds, Fabian employs a leg kick and can generate hard contact when he connects, but he wraps the bat and likes to chase pitches off the plate, so he’s going to have to tighten his strike-zone management against better pitching. He has showcased in center field, but his below-average speed and arm strength fit better in left field.'via Blog this'
