Giants lose Paterson in Rule 5 Draft, pick three later


The Giants lost LHP Joe Paterson in the first round as expected. Baseball America described Paterson as "Crafty lefty specialists gets by with curveball and guts." Hate to lose him and expect to see him at the major league level in the near future.

RHP Daniel Turpen is listed as being selected from the Giants by the Yankees, but Turpen was traded to the Red Sox in the Rodriguez deal.

The Giants drafted LHP Justin Dowdy from the Rays in the first round of the minor league phase and RHP Matthew Sartor from the Dodgers organization in the third round. Sandwiched between those two picks, the Giants selected C Dashenko Ricardo from the Orioles. John Manuel of Baseball America reports that the Giants will try Ricardo as a pitcher.

Dowdy is a smallish (6-1, 160) LHP who perhaps balances out the loss of Patterson. He is 27 years old so he will provide depth insurance.

Sartor is a 6-6, 250 AA RHP who throws hard but appears to have command issues. Sartor and Ricardo would appear to be projects, but somebody in the organization must have seen something they like.

Dowdy could make a contribution out of the bullpen in the future.

Joseph Paterson 6-1 210 24 LHP Oregon State
WHIP 1.100
H/9 6.7
HR/9 0.4
BB/9 3.2
K/9 9.9
K/BB 3.10

Good power #'s (K's vs. BB's) who doesn't get hit much and keeps the ball in the park.

Maybe could have gambled and exposed LHP Clayton Tanner, but he likely would have been snapped up as well. Patterson might be the closest to being productive pitcher within the organization other than Jose Casilla who is maybe two years away.


Giants selections from the Triple A phase:
1. Giants LHP Justin Dowdy Rays
2. Giants C Dashenko Ricardo Orioles
3. Giants RHP Matthew Sartor Dodgers
