Hey, this is good. John Perrotto argues the Bucs should easily win the Giles trade. Not the smartest thing to publish the day that Giles arrives (couldn't it wait until Friday?), but he's right on. Giles is an expensive and aging corner outfielder. We got or can get them cheap. Bay can play some center, and Oliver Perez is a left-handed power pitcher. Cory Stewart is also a left-handed starter and it looks like we'll be seeing him soon enough, too.
I caught all kinds of abuse for defending this trade and the Aramis Ramirez one. Bobby Hill can still win the Aramis Ramirez deal. People have to remember that the Bucs weren't re-signing Aramis, and the Bucs can play Hill for cheap for several years provided he continues to make the grade.
