The Pirates had a good day!! They traded an aging, defensive specialist SS for a glut of players, including a former top prospect in Clement and an MLB player in Cedeno. Then, they get an absolute steal in trading an expensive, aging 2B in Sanchez for an absolutely sick prospect in Tim Alderson. Yee! Love the second trade.
Jack and Freddy were both fun to watch, and the team will be downright putrid for the rest of this year and next year, but Neal Huntington is actually going about building a team the right way.

I really like Clement...it'll be interesting to see how they handle him and Doumit on the same team. Doumit is an OF too, correct?
Considering Sanchez/Wilson weren't all that open to signing extensions earlier this year, I think moving them both for guys with upside was ideal. Getting Clement and Alderson out of them should give them at least something to take away from the trades as I'd think at least one of them will have an impact down the road.

Those prospects aren't as good as you're making them out to be. I thought the Freddy Sanchez deal was a steal for the Giants.

I loved the Jack Wilson trade for the Pirates. Sanchez trade was alright

Freddy Sanchez is an overpaid, aging, slightly injury-prone 2B that was going through a mid-season slump. Anderson was one of their top prospects. The Sanchez trade was great for the Pirates. |

Sanchez is a solid player but he's nothing more than that at all. SF definitely didn't steal him.

I like Sanchez alot. I think he will be a doubles machine for the next 2-3 years for the Giants. Alderson was a top spect, but keeping Bumgarner was key. Alderson was or 3rd or 4th spect.
