Toronto takes Giants RHP Joe Biangini. Savy pitcher with feel for pitching and OK stuff.

#Bluejays must keep Biagini on their 25-man roster all season or offer him back to #Giants for $25,000. #Jays just paid $50,000 to get him.
Biagani was 27th on the Giants Top 30 MLB Pipeline prospects list:
Scouting Grades: Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 45 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45
He lasted 26 rounds in the 2011 Draft, yet Biagini commanded a $175,000 bonus after boosting his stock in the Cape Cod League that summer. San Francisco didn't get much of an early return on its investment as he posted a 4.73 ERA in his first three pro seasons, but he had a breakthrough season in Double-A in 2015. He has advanced further than his father Rob did when he topped out in high Class A in the Giants system in the early 1980s.
Biagini has a plus fastball that usually operates from 91-94 mph and can hit 96. He trusts his changeup more than his curveball, though the latter shows flashes of becoming an average third offering with some depth.
Biagini has improved his control significantly during the last two years, enhancing his chances of becoming a back-of-the-rotation starter. He doesn't miss a lot of bats because he doesn't have a standout second offering or sharp command, so he might be best as a middle reliever who might pitch in the mid 90s in short stints.
