More on Freddy Sanchez

My friend Ken Rosenthal at Foxsports.com reported that Giants medical personnel examined Freddy Sanchez's injured knee last night.

That dovetails with something I just heard: that last night the Giants and Pirates had the pieces in place for a deal, but the Giants wanted to hold off over concerns about the knee.

The injury is not supposed to be serious, but any team making a trade would be wise to be darn sure the player is healthy.

I should say that even if no trade were in the works, and a visiting player got hurt, chances are he would see the home team's doctors.

I'm hearing conflicting information on whether the Giants would get Sanchez for prospects only (and they would be higher-level prospects than Scott Barnes) or prospects plus a player on the 25-man roster.
I don't like what I'm hearing regarding the possible Sanchez trade, the only prospects that are rated higher (according to BA) than Barnes that I would part with are Gillaspie, Adrianza, and maybe Noonan. I would only send Alderson if Pittburgh paid all of Sanchez's salary and it'd be straight up or part his salary and sent prospects too.

Edit: the player on the 25-man mentioned in the article is most likely Jesus Guzman according to this site: http://insidepittsburghsports.com/story/sanchez-wilson-close-to-being-dealt/15114/
