Why taking Justin Foscue No. 13 in the MLB draft makes sense for the Giants

Given the depth of the pitching in this year's draft class and the relative dearth of high-upside arms currently in the Giants' system, a lot of draft pundits have maintained that San Francisco will add one of the premier collegiate arms (like Cade Cavalli, Reid Detmers, Cole Wilcox, or Garrett Crochet).

A few high school hitters, like Ed Howard and Tyler Soderstrom, have entered the discussion, but on Monday Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs released his Mock Draft 2.0 that added a new wrinkle. In it, Longenhagen chose Mississippi State second baseman Justin Foscue for San Francisco with the 13th overall pick.
