At the end of the day, the Giants kicked the tires of the consensus top prospects and decided that their best bet was on the the best hitting college catcher available. Joey Bart won’t be taking Buster Posey’s place in the lineup or our hearts anytime soon and that was never really the thinking behind this pick. Brian Sabean is not an idiot. With the #2 overall pick, the mission statement was “Don’t screw this up”, and given the caliber of player we know Bart to be, there’s no question that the front office accomplished their mission.
