Giants acquired RHP Hector Correa from the Marlins for catcher Ronny Paulino.
Correa, a 2006 fourth-round pick, emerged as one of the Marlins' better prospects in 2007, only to miss most of 2008 with shoulder issues. That this essentially boils down to Jack Taschner for Correa makes it a good trade for the Giants. Correa is still a legitimate prospect, albeit one with probably no more than a 20 percent chance of making a real impact in the majors, and Taschner is someone who could have been non-tendered back in December. Correa will likely start his Giants career at low-A Augusta.
Glad to see Holm is still the backup catcher and that the Giants got a pitcher in the process. I'll never forget the day Paulino was a Giant.
