I liked Simon's FSL numbers a lot when I saw them, thinking he had a high upside; not so much when I saw he's 23. Hancock was putting up good numbers in AA at 23, for what it's worth. Simon may still turn out to be something but he wasn't one of the crown jewels of the Philly system. I don't know that the Giants made out any better than we did, and Rodriguez is a better pitcher than Jones.
