Fourth-Round Update



In addition to signing third-rounder Roger Kieschnick on Wednesday, the Giants also inked fourth-rounder Brandon Crawford. The UCLA shortstop, a projected first-rounder before a disappointing spring, received a $375,000 bonus, matching the fourth-highest in the fourth round this year.

Three fourth-rounders remain unsigned. Holt High (Wentzville, Mo.) righthander Tim Melville (Royals) and Unionville (Pa.) High outfielder Pete Hissey (Red Sox) are expected to land seven-figure deals, while outfielder Jason Kipnis (Padres) figures to return to Arizona State for his juior year.
