UA closer leads off Day 2 of Giants Draft

One day after the Giants made their first three selections in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, they immediately selected another player initially expected to go on the first day, too. San Francisco made University of Arizona relief pitcher Jason Stoffel its fourth-round pick to start Wednesday's portion of the three-day Draft.

UA's all-time saves leader (29) had a down year last season, posting a 4.67 ERA in 54 innings pitched. But as a freshman and sophomore he closed out the Wildcats' games ahead of 2008 first-round picks Ryan Perry and Daniel Schlereth, going a combined 9-2 and collecting 18 saves in 60 appearances.
