I don't recall how proven Nathan was at the time, but you need to realize that the other 2 were merely prospects. Prospects aren't worth much in the grand scheme of things. They are unproven. Even the top prospects sometimes come up and flame out with nothing to show for it.

Low budget, small market teams (Twins) value prospects much moreso than big market teams (Giants).

But yeah, with that said, it's a pretty crappy trade for Giants fans.
