Kieschnick in Third

Giants nab Texas Tech rightfielder Roger Kieschnick in the third round.

From what I can dig up on him, he's a potential five tool outfielder with serious pull power. Kieschnick displayed that as he tied #2 overall pick Pedro Alvarez for the team lead in homers with Team USA last year.

Evidently, there's an issue with his swing mechanics. Looking at projections, though, it looks like he's a great value pick in the third - most had him going sandwich/second.

And yes, he's the cousin of former two-way player and OBnB fave, Brooks Kieschnick.

Hmm - three polished college bats with the first three picks? Maybe things really are changing in Giantsland.
