MLB Draft 2015: Giants select Chris Shaw with 31st pick

The Giants turned Pablo Sandoval into Chris Shaw, a first baseman/outfielder out of Boston College.

With the 31st pick in the MLB Draft, the Giants selected Chris Shaw, an outfielder/first baseman from Boston College. Let's see if he played in the Cape Cod League and, oh, huh, turns out he did. This is our consolation for having to give up those sweet, sweet, lice-ridden panda hats. So look into my dying Tom Hanks eyes and listen to me, kid: Earn this.

Or, you know, play baseball and succeed at it. That would be delightful! The 21-year-old was ranked #45 in the Baseball America pre-draft rankings, and #58 according to ESPN's Keith Law.
