Scouting director Michael Holmes confirmed that plan to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. Holmes also mentioned that the Giants plan to play third-round pick Trevor Cohen in center field.
With both picks, they were drawn to above-average contact skills, elite in-zone contact, and low strikeout rates.
