The pirates finally stopped trading guys. They've traded away Jason Bay, Nate McClouth, Xavier Nady, and Freddy Sanchez for prospects! Houston is going to be the next pirates. Trading away talent for prospects=19 losing seasons.


Jason Bay hasn't had a good season since leaving Pittsburgh....

McClouth fell off the world. Xavier Nady is *not* talent. and Freddy Sanchez is a defensive liability and has had health issues. Solid trade.

The only trade that hurt was trading off Jason Bay. But all those trades have worked for the better for the pirates.

This is what the Pirates got for Sanchez...

Even if Sanchez was (for us, Giants) only half a year of really good play (including +5.9 UZR, so, roughly, above average defense), I'd say the Giants won the trade.



I would agree. coming to minors at 18... 23-24 still in AA... screams peaked already, or horrible injury. (for pitcher that is)
