Draft Day

Well, today the June Amateur Draft begins. Here's the schedule --


And here's the final set of mock drafts (along with their projected pick for the Giants in the first round):

-- Baseball America: Daniel Norris, HS LHP, Tennessee
-- Keith Law: Robert Stephenson, HS RHP, California
-- Kevin Goldstein: Henry Owens, HS LHP, California
-- MLB Bonus Baby: Andrew Susac, College C, Oregon State

This is actually the first time I've heard Daniel Norris' name pop up, but given the Giants' interest in prep arms, it could make sense.

MLB.com has video of him:


Another name to keep an eye on is Joe Ross, a name we've heard a lot recently.

Kevin Goldstein writes that if Joe Ross is available by the 29th pick, the San Francisco Giants won't let him get by.
