You don't draft bases on the needs of your big league club.
Exactly.
Thats what some of these Giants fans don't get about the draft.
I like what they did in 1st and supplemental rounds.

BG can you or someone else here explain why scouts are so infatuated with Julio Borbon? i cant get excited about a guy who had 6 walks all year and i think 9 in his 3 years when facing SEC competition.

I hear good things about Ahrens but what of the others?
Best Draft: Toronto Blue Jays
It's hard to believe that the Blue Jays were the organization with the most well-balanced blend of players on Thursday, but Jon Lalonde had a great draft. The team picked a good infield of prepsters that should progress together up through the minors--Kevin Ahrens, Justin Jackson, and John Tolisano. Lalonde also went with his usual habits, picking a powerful collegian in J.P. Arencibia and an accomplished southpaw in Brett Cecil. I also really like how the Blue Jays ended with day, drafting southpaw Brad Mills and groundball artist Marc Rzepczynski. One of the game's worst farm systems might have about seven new members for its top ten prospect list.

Excellent athlete with good power potential. Has impressive tools, including a very strong and accurate outfield arm.
