This is a good first day haul for the G-Men. I liked Hjelle in this spot early on and his Rank is right there with the Pick.
Bart immediately challenges Heliot Ramos for the top prospect spot, both are 50-55-ish on the scout scale. I would rate Bart higher on my list because he is further along the development path, he is a WYSIWYG. Ramos, you can still dream on, but the dream can still turn into a nightmare. Hjelle could start at or near the Top Ten in the Giants organization and should rise to the big club in 2019 at best or 2020 at worst. Bart, I wouldn't mind seeing this September, but they may want to avoid the "Who's your catcher?" question considering who the current catcher is and his face of the franchise status.
Depending on the price, these three are the most intriguing names left after day one.
Let's go Christmas shopping!!
- Rocker has been at or near the top of most list since the pre-season.
- Pompey is intriguing in spite of the lackluster scouting reports.
- Wilcox might be the best long-term value, unless he is committed to Georgia for two years.
That may be what we are seeing here is the first glimpse of highly rated HS'ers who have either priced themselves out of the early rounds or are totally committed to college.
Some team will take a flyer after the tenth round. The first ten rounds are "must sign" because it has an effect on the dollars allocated to spend.
Nander De Sedas,(HS-SS) and Steven Gingery (LHP) from Texas Tech might also be worth looking at with the next pick
or two for the Giants. Eighty names have been picked so in theory, anyone who was ranked <80 and="" board="" is="" on="" span="" still="" the="">
becomes a good value pick. If you trust your initial due diligence and scouting department.
