This is the kind of pick that could turn a good draft to very good in a heartbeat. A 7th rounder with good bloodlines as they like to say. He's likely been around the game at a high level and received better baseball instruction than most.

Jose Vizcaino
Sent from my iPhone
Baseball America had him ranked # 215 and the Giants pick him at #216, how much more in sync can you get and not be linked to a boy band? If you held a gun to my head right now and asked me which one of the three out of Vizcaino, Duggar and Jebavy ends up making it, my money is on this guy.
Baseballdraftreport.com has him rated as the third best collegiats 3B behind Miami's David Thompson and Florida International's Edwin Rios and #126 overall. Not too shabby. Would I feel better if mlb.com had a bio blurb about him, yes of course. But even the great ones swing and miss once in a while in baseball, Look at Babe Ruth!!

Scouting Report:The son of the long-time big league shortstop and utility infielder, the younger Vizcaino is a bigger, very different player from his Dominican-born father, who spent parts of 18 years in the majors. (His uncle is ex-big league pitcher Bob Scanlan.) Big and physical at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, Vizcaino earned All-West Coast Conference honors at shortstop, one of three shortstops named to the first team. While San Diego's Kyle Holder and Loyola Marymount's David Fletcher are known for defense, Vizcaino was the league's best offensive prospect, with average power potential that he’s starting to tap into, and a decent feel for the barrel. His swing has no major red flags. He wasn't test by much velocity in the WCC and had mixed results in series at Vanderbilt (five hits in three games) and Texas Christian (hitless for the series). He’s no shortstop; scouts would like to try him at third base, and he played center field in summer ball. His arm action changed in the outfield, for the better, so that may be his ultimate destination. | |||||||
