Q&A with Giants Scouting Director Doug Mapson
By The Baseball Beginnings Guy
August 31, 2009
Doug Mapson describes the draft as filling out a major league team five years from now. He should know. The self-made baseball man whose longtime influences, the late scouts and former players, Gene Handley and Spider Jorgensen, still guide his insights, is now in his 29th year in professional baseball.
Baseball Beginnings caught up with Mapson to talk about San Francisco’s first five picks of the 2009 draft. The Giants felt good about the haul; they feel better getting all five players signed.
