The Giants do what I wanted, actually even better than I thought they could, with just one trade:

Drew Pomeranz and Ray Black for Milwuakee's 3rd rated prospect, 2b Mauricio Dubon.  He is hitting .297/.333 /475/.809 with 16 HRs in Triple A.

So the plan looks like it is to bring this guy up to play 2B in place of Panik.  Farhan Zaidi doing EXACTLY what the Giants need, trading some MLB assets for high level prospects at position of need at MLB level.

Pomeranz has been reborn since they moved him to the bullpen, particularly against lefties. But they already have Smith and Watson, so he was expendable.

Black is the one guy they had in the system with high heat in the upper 90s. But he doesn’t have much else and has been kicking around for a few years apparently trying to improve his command.

On the surface, a good trade.
