PrintHere's the draft thread.
Early thoughts and impressions :
The Pirates made a great choice here. In my estimation, Alvarez and Beckham are the two premium talents in this draft (3 if Hosmer can move to RF). I can’t help shake the feeling that Alvarez is going to be a really great hitter in MLB.
I absolutely love this pick. Yes, Smoak’s got HUGE potential, but the Giants need a sure thing here, and Posey is the surest thing available in the draft at this point. There’s also the issue of positional scarcity.

Alonso
I really hate the Alonso choice. I figured Gordon Beckham would go here. Votto’s becoming entrenched. However, this certainly does seem to show a continued willingness to have a crappy defensive LF, as Alonso would likely be moved off.
