McCutchen Traded to SF

[calsnowskier]

Well, credit where it's due, the Giants seem to be actually trying this year. I'm more optimistic than I was after they missed on Stanton

Yeah. Not a HUGE fan of losing Arroyo, but getting a borderline HOFer not too far removed from his good years in return could prove huge. Going to a team with an electric fan base could really pick up his interest in the game and spark a turn around. Same for Cutch. Add in salvaging 2 decent prospects for free for Moore, and those are some nice swaps.

According to ESPN's Keith Law, the Giants traded their number 2 prospect for McCutchen.

My theory is that Law is wrong.

I would agree with your theory. I'm not sure Reynolds should be have been considered a top 10.

I had him at #11, in part due to the influence of you and others on the board (and I wasn't really impressed by his numbers at SJ either).

I probably would have had him at about 8 or so. Certainly behind Ramos, Beede, Shaw, Duggar, Slater, Suarez, and Garcia. He would have been in the next tier with Fabian, Gonzalez, Canario, Anderson, Santos...
