Between Bednar and Mikulski, Giants just got two relatively high probability arms and will still have a lot of money to throw around later. Like what they've done so far.

What I have learned from watching the coverage on MLB is that the fist bump has thoroughly displaced the high-five as the congratulatory gesture of choice for old men. Cultural evolution is so interesting!

I'm admittedly pretty low on Fabian....the strikeouts really scare me. Hope I'm wrong! Another Chavis, Dalbec strikeout type with big holes? He’ll fit right in!

Fangraphs grades Fabian as the first 40+ prospect in the draft. I would imagine he's going to land right around the 8-12 rankings range for the Sox. Super excited for these additions to the organization!

Man, those mechanics would have made me nervous if we had taken him.

Hope the Yankees can't afford/don't take Baez.

Another Chavis, Dalbec strikeout type with big holes? He’ll fit right in! So far we have drafted MaMa and JFK(ed)? Sorry, couldn't resist. It is looking really good, let's just hope a good draft grade turns into results on the field. Oh, we just missed out on having MaMi as well.

It is too much to hope for that Joshua Baez would be available when the Sox come up in the 3rd round, but that will not stop me from going to the wishing well. Is Baez a strong commitment to Vanderbilt? Would he simply go there and strive to be a top ten pick in three years?

Could totally see Fabian going straight to Salem, btw.

Well, the Brewers agreed with me when I said Russell Smith was someone to look for ranked below 80 - I just had a round or two later in mind...

I don't love the Fabian pick. When he was being mentioned months ago as a possibility at 4, I didn't want him then either. The swing and miss is discouraging. Maybe I'm just overly sensitive to it after a half season of watching Bobby D. and Franchy flail away.
I would have preferred del Castillo with that pick but it's possible the $$$ weren't lining up.

For what its worth, I've heard his issues may be more of a pitch recognition issue. He's been described as a guess hitter, often times taking wild swings at breaking stuff.

If Mayer signs for slot, you can give Fabian 2.4 million before you even draft a single senior sign.
We could see some more fireworks, not Mayer/Fabian level fireworks but we're going to get some more goodies before the draft is over.

Marlins take BC's Cody Morissette. Really like Miami’s draft. Other than Boston’s my favorite so far. Shout out to Kim Ng!

I thought we'd end up overslot with Mayer and wouldn't be able to afford Jud. But wow. Wonder if this means we are going cheap everywhere else now. That strategy may make sense too.
Also interesting - Fabian's brother Deric is a draft eligible HS SS. Have brothers ever been taken by the same team in the same draft?
