The Giants have a lot of toolsy position players who swing and miss too frequently to be projected as regulars in their system, along with a lot of they-might-be-relievers. They also have enough pitching depth in their system to not pursue right-handed relievers or back-end starters in trades or free agency. They do, however, need one of these recent first-round selections to succeed because the current front office hasn’t had much luck with those selections thus far, and the Giants haven’t had a true first-round selection since Zack Wheeler in 2009.
