Interesting. Wynns is hardly the world beater with the bat. I get that this is a minor league trade thus far, but given that Bart is being sent down, I cannot imagine that Wynns won't be activated for today's game. I would guess that Papierski is going to get dfa'd.
I agree. Papierski just looked like a body. Nothing losing sleep over if he is lost.
Weird to see him over Papierski.
Meanwhile, Fairchild has been claimed by the Reds and Padlo has been claimed by the Mariners.
Yes. He is still young and the Giants have done him no favors with the yo-yoing between AAA and the bigs. However, there is the concern about his AAA performance thus far but its too early to get even close to writing him off.
He was drafted as a HS senior, so it could considerably take him MUCH longer to get to the bigs than other prospects.
I understand that. You expect top tier prospects to not struggle so much in AAA. It can be worrying. But there is a difference between the sheen dulling and giving up on him altogether. I that is what I interpreted pachyderm to mean.
There absolutely is a difference. The sheen dulling just means that I view him less a “can’t miss” or as a prospect with multiple all-star potential. My expectation is more along the lines of a #3 OF or there about. He COULD still be an all-star or MVP type player, but my expectations aren’t there anymore.
That would still make me sad, even if he's lost some luster. The return, in my opinion, should be sizeable.
And, he could/should be the centerpiece of any deal.
So he is technically with Sacto, but he is physically in Arizona, and must remain there for AT LEAST 7 days.
That is my understanding.
