Did Butterfield visited Cal this past weekend?
On Melancon, he was a guy I really wanted the Giants to land. He was tremendous for Pittsburgh, and then the Nationals nabbed him in a trade over the Giants, the year the Giants had the best record in MLB at the All-Star Break, and then had the worst record after, with a disintegrating bullpen responsible for countless losses. They still made the Wildcard, but needed Melancon then. Instead, apparently unable to understand the team they had, the Giants signed Melancon as a high priced free agent the following off season, and it has been nothing but snake eyes for the player and team since.
At least they got Joey Bart with the #2 overall pick a year after signing him, so thanks, Melancon!
