Armchair Fantasy Baseball: Completed Transactions / Giants/Blue Jays Trade
« on: July 27, 2012, 07:24:32 PM »
The Giants and Blue Jays agree to the following trade:
Giants give:
Josh Bell, OF (giants 2nd round 2011 pick)
2012 -1st Round pick
Blue Jays give:
Aaron Hill, 2B
Carlos Villanueva, P
$5,000,000 of Hill's 2012 salary.
Giving up Bell was tough to do, as he was projected as best hitter in '11 draft, and would have been a sure 1st rounder except concerns about his sign ability. Losing my first pick this year also is a hit.
However, the Giants still have a good shot at it's division title, and in the playoff, who knows what can happen. Getting Hill gives me a long-term solution at 2B, and needing a SP badly this year, Villanueva, being a rest of year rental, hopefully will fit the bill.
Thanks to the Blue Jays for a smooth negotiation. Jays to confirm.
