Let’s set some ground rules: Mock drafts nine months before the actual draft are useless. In March, 2006, Tim Lincecum wasn’t listed in Baseball America’s first mock draft. By May’s mock draft, he went a pick before the Giants drafted. The difference was two months of pitching, which meant two months of scouts getting a look at peak Tim Lincecum. He was impressive, obviously. The mock and actual drafts changed.
The Giants are projected by Baseball America to take Ethan Hankins with the second-overall pick in June’s MLB Draft. They will probably take someone different, just because of the odds.
