Giants non-tender Yusmeiro Petit and Hector Sanchez - McCovey Chronicles



Two more long-time Giants who are leaving the fold, Petit to the Nationals and Sanchez to the White Sox. I'm not as flip as Grant Bisbee over at McCovey Chronicles seems to be about the loss of Petit. I don't know if Chris Heston fills the role Petit did quite as well. I'm also not sure the Giants win the last World Series without some significant contributions out of the pen from Petit.

Sanchez seemed to lose the hit too after the concussion(s) and struggled to get it bat, but in his time he was a really good hitting prospect behind the dish. Hector seems to set up for outside pitches in the "decap zone" where foul tips come off the bat really, really hard. It would be hard to justify the veteran salary Sanchez would get with the development of bot Andrew Susac and Trevor Brown.
