Looking better and better for the Giants. A RHP, a LHP and a potential power bat. All three with some collegiate experience. Suarez fits the mold from a pitch-ability standpoint, the question is health and durability. The second day is where the Giants have made some significant finds in the past. We'll see if their good fortune there continues. If two of these first three guys hit, this day will have been a success.

Comments: Suarez has been a well-regarded prospect since high school and has twice been drafted in the top 10 rounds, including last year when the Nationals selected him 57th overall as a redshirt sophomore. Instead of signing, he opted to return to Miami and is once again an integral part of the Hurricanes weekend rotation. Suarez throws his fastball in the low 90s, topping out at 95 mph. His changeup, slider and curveball all have the potential to be at least average offerings. He works around the strike zone with his whole arsenal and demonstrates a good feel for his craft. While Suarez has tantalizing stuff, there are some questions about his durability because of his injury history and small frame. Labrum surgery sidelined him for his whole freshman season, and he missed time this spring due to an oblique strain. If he can stay healthy, however, he has the tools to become a big league starter.
