 Shelby on Woolard & Villanueva
The other day I wrote about the trade that brought Wayne Franklin & Leo Estrella to the Giants. I really didn't know anything about the two prospects the Giants sent to the Brewers to complete the transaction. As I hoped, Stephen Shelby has popped up with a thorough and reassuring analysis of Woolard & Villanueva. It's posted over at Fogball, but here's the key thing for me:
I imagine that most Giants fans are unimpressed with Franklin and Estrella, but they cost relatively little in my opinion: two marginal prospects. I write this partially to answer a question posed by Skaldheim whether the Giants gave up too much to acquire Franklin.
As unimpressive as Franklin and Estrella may be, I think we gave up even less to get them.
Many thanks to Stephen Shelby for the information--I encourage you all to head over to Fogball to read the whole piece.
