JACKSONVILLE - Giants returned to form after Joey Bart with college RHP's here in the fourth and fifth rounds with Blake Rivera - comps to Craig Kimbrell -- a very intriguing pick. They followed with Keaton Winn, another JUCO pick from Iowa Western CC. Winn was a Mississippi State commit, which is a good endorsement and a multi-sport athlete, so a good pick here. Hilson is another good athlete and an Alabama commit. He was a two-way player in HS but projects more as an OF prospect in the pros, given his other tools (switch-hitter, good bat/foot speed).
If 2-3 of the top five hit for you, normally that would be considered a decent haul. The Giants could hit that mark. The early picks are neatly in line with the pre-draft evaluation, so no great leaps of faith.
All of the first ten rounders are signed.
George Bell, 6-4,215 JUCO OF in the 13th round could end up being the sleeper pick of this draft for the Giants.
