PHOENIX - Midway through the Giants' 9-2 victory against the Diamondbacks on Monday night, a fan tweeted, "#SFGiants never had #1 Pick in 42 years of MLB draft. Can they blow this opp too in 2017?"
Who would have thought when the Giants' season began at Chase Field almost six months ago that it would near the end with some fans rooting for them to lose?
The pro-tanking crowd will be not be happy to learn that Monday's victory dropped the Giants into the No. 2 draft spot with five games to play. They share the majors' worst record with the Phillies, who would "win" a tiebreaker because they had a worse record than the Giants in 2016.
