The San Francisco Giants have signed outfielder Roger Kieschnick, their 3rd pick and the 82nd overall selection in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, the club announced today. The Giants have come to terms with 28 players from this year's draft, including 25 of their first 31 selections. Kieschnick, a 6-3, 215-pound outfielder out of Texas Tech University, posted a .305 average (67-220) with 47 runs, 15 doubles, three triples, 17 home runs and 65 RBI in 55 games with the Red Raiders this season.
