He was supposed to be our “Closer of the Future”, but he turned into 3 years of a fun #3/#4 starter and piece of a championship.

Seems so long ago that he was a prospect in the farm system that it surprises me whenever I hear his name mentioned as an active player. His numbers these past 3 seasons have been brutal, I'm a bit surprised he's still getting a chance in the big leagues. His stuff must be that good.

He recently got sent back to AAA too.
I missed that.

While his first taste was not appetizing, I still think he will be a good SP, and ultimately, the piece we will look back at with regret about that trade.

Yes, pitched for the RiverCats the whole season. He was someone I was mildly excited about making the roster out of spring training, toward the beginning of camp. He pitched okay for a relief pitcher in the PCL (or AAA West, gag) (4.14 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, 11.7 K/9 which would make him one of the best pitchers on this year's AAA staff) but didn't get a call up.

Some more former Giants in transactions:
Jay Jackson's contract purchased by the Braves
Anthony Banda acquired from the Pirates (after a dfa) by the Blue Jays
Billy Hamilton's contract purchased by the Marlins
Braves trade for Silvino Bracho (after Red Sox dfa'd him without an appearance with the team)
Skye Bolt activated from the 60 day IL by the Athletics and put on the active roster

He lasted longer on their 40 man roster then I expected.

It is certainly en vogue to do the dfa dance in the big leagues. Really seems like a lot of work for little results. I mean, how many replacements really do any measure of difference better than the ones brought in before them?
