Say goodbye to Kevin Pucetas

Per Teh Mule at the ESPN board. PTBNL in the Guillen trade.

Royals acquire Pucetas for Guillen - CBSSports.com

I think that ends up being a win/win for both teams. Pucetas was likely going to be DFA'd this off-season anyway, so the teams just ends up saving some money by taking his contract.

Pucetas has a major league career in his future, it just isn't with the Giants. He will be an average / below average long reliever / spot starter (something the Giants don't need).

I am now OK with the Guillen trade. It cost us absolutely nothing.

Me too. Hopefully the kid can do something in the majors, but he's not needed here.....and he's getting up there in age (at least for a guy who has yet to make a dent in the pros).

LMAO.

Is that what all that screaming was about this morning?

cost next to nothing. Not bad considering Guillen did help in a few games down the stretch..almost hobbled his way to costing the Giants some win too on the other hand.

Thus ends the Giants chapter of the Jose Guillen story.
