Twins Miss Out On Sanchez

July 29, 2009 | Filed underTwins,Twins Fantasy | Posted by

Second baseman Freddy Sanchez will not be wearing a Minnesota Twins’ uniform this year.  The Pittsburgh Pirates traded Sanchez to the San Francisco Giants for highly-touted pitching prospect, Tim Alderson.

The Giants paid a very steep price, because Alderson is the no. 4 prospect in the Giants’ organization (according to Baseball America).

There was no way Twins’ General Manager Bill Smith was going to give up a prospect as good or better than Alderson.  Alderson is equivalent to prospects’ third baseman Danny Valencia and pitcher Jose Mijares in the Twins’ system.

    The only way Billy Smith will make a trade is if he thinks he totally fleecing the other team..
