Following in the footsteps of Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and Madison Bumgarner, Phil Bickford looked to be the next Giants pitching prospect to ascend from the draft to toeing the rubber for the Orange and Black at AT&T Park.
That future sighting was put to an end by the Giants' front office on August 1, the last day of this year's trade deadline. Searching for help in the bullpen, the Giants traded Bickford, along with catcher Andrew Susac, to the Milwakee Brewers for left-handed reliever Will Smith.
