If you analyzed every trade Ruben Amaro Jr ever made, a couple months ago you’d automatically say the deal that sent Hunter Pence to the San Francisco Giants. The Phillies received highly touted catching prospect Tommy Joseph, pitcher Seth Rosin, and career back-up outfielder Nate Schierholtz.
Seth Rosin is out of Major League Baseball after just two seasons, and Schierholtz is currently suspended for PEDs.
Tommy Joseph was the prize in this trade, and was quickly dubbed the catcher of the near future. At the time of the trade in 2012, Joseph was the sixth best prospect in the Giants farm system.
