Great transaction for the Giants for three reasons:

1. They get a Matt "Tugboat" Wilkinson (Tugboat" because he's 6'1", 270 pounds), 23-year-old, left-handed starting pitcher, and their system is light on starters. He has a 1.91 ERA in six starts, 28 1/3rd IP, 36 strikeouts, 0.918 WHIP at Akron. Has given up one HR in 107 batters. 0.00 ERA in 2 2/3 IP representing Canada in the WBC.

1962   79 / 445   .178
1993   66 / 378   .175

2. #29 overall pick. For the years 2010-2020, 9 reached the majors, 7 had positive WAR. Best case was SF Giant Joe Panik.

3. They get an additional $3.27 million in slot value, bringing their total to $17.35 million, 4th highest in MLB.
