Giants draft OF Ronnie Jebavy from MTSU with 5th Round Pick

MLB.com had nothing on him. Baseball America ranked him at #208 at the 156 spot, so we just about gave up the prior gains. Easy come, easy go. Sounds like a good athlete, CF candidate, but he has to hit. Maybe a mid-major version of Gary Brown? Hope they checked his hearing and coach-ability, otherwise this pick doesn't help.

Scouting Report:
Jebavy grew up in Murfreesboro, Tenn., and after two years at Columbia State (Tenn.) JC came home to play for Middle Tennessee State. He had a breakout season for the Blue Raiders and earned Conference USA Newcomer Player of the Year honors after hitting .359/.408/.531 with seven home runs and 24 stolen bases. Jebavy is an excellent athlete and his well above-average speed plays both on the base paths and in center field, where he could be a plus defender. Jebavy has a contact-oriented approach that enables him to get the most out of his speed and will work well at the top of a lineup.
