Giants Rule 5 Draft Preview

With the Rule 5 Draft being held tomorrow, I thought it would be a good idea to post a preview of what I would like the Giants to do in that draft. Last year we drafted Luis Perdomo but he got DFA'd and the Padres scooped him up. The Rule 5 Draft also provided us Eugenio Velez. So without further ado I will give 40 names that are being discussed on the internet and 5 guys I wouldn't mind seeing the Giants take.
40 Guys

Guys I wouldn't mind seeing the Giants take (In order of preference)
| 1-Zach Kroenke-LHRP-NYY |
| The Giants could use a lefty MR |
| to keep Runzler in AAA (for arb |
| reasons and keep him at the back |
| of the bullpen). Kroenke could |
| also offset the loss of Justin Miller |
| and Bob Howry. |
| 2-Yohan Pino-RHRP-Cle |
| Probably the most ML ready of |
| the Rule V draft prospects, he |
| doesn't light up radar guns but |
| he has a great K rate and has |
| started. He could be this year's |
| Justin Miller (hopefully without |
| the inability to pitch at Coors field) |
| 3-Matt McBride-C/1B/OF-Cle |
| McBride should only be taken if |
| the Giants need a back up catcher |
| and signing a FA seems unlikely |
| McBride can't catch everyday |
| but I think he can still catch some |
| of the time and offers some |
| upside with the bat. |
| 4-Ben Jukich-LHRP-Cle |
| Basically the same reasons |
| as Kroenke, but Jukich isn't as |
| highly regarded. He has a fringe |
| fastball but a very good breaking |
| ball. |
| 5-Mike McBryde-OF-SF |
| No one else excites me, so why |
| risk losing a guy who profiles as |
| a very good 4th OF. |
