The San Francisco Giants recognize the need to put together a better defensive outfield, particularly in center field, and they recognize that, with their already bloated payroll, the trade market is the best way to do that. So with plenty of time to kill this offseason, there are plenty of options to look at as the Giants attempt to get better. The second center fielder profiled here is the Washington Nationals’ Michael Taylor.
Taylor was a sixth-round pick by the Nationals, and was rated a top-100 prospect before the 2015 season by MLB.com, Baseball America, and Baseball Prospectus.
