Coming This Week…

Monday will begin with a Baseball Beginnings exclusive Q&A with Giants scouting director Doug Mapson, who discusses his organizations’s top five picks of the 2009 draft: RHP Zack Wheeler, C Tommy Joseph, 3B Chris Dominguez, RHP Jason Stoffel and 1B Brandon Belt. It’s a very interesting cross-section of prospects, ranging from a power high school arm, a college closer, a three-tool college third baseman, a high school catcher with an arm and power, and a first baseman from the College World Series champions whose best hitting just might be in front of him.
We’ll also visit with former Oklahoma State right-hander Tyler Blandford, who came to terms at the signing deadline with the Seattle Mariners, who selected him in the 5th round. Blandford had a cup of coffee with the Santa Barbara Foresters this summer, where Baseball Beginnings filmed and scouted him. You’ll read his Q&A and thoughts upon signing with the Mariners, as well as have the opportunity to watch video and read our scouting report.
As always, Baseball Beginnings prides itself on first-hand scouting and information from primary sources.
