Did We Miss the Boat?

I've been torn about Joe Crede for the last few months. I was for trading for him before I was against it, and his .172 Spring average didn't inspire much confidence. But the way Crede's playing right now, it seems a little ridiculous that the Giants balked at giving up Noah Lowry or Jonathan Sanchez. In 11 games this year, all Crede has done is hit .341 with 4 homers and an AL-best 15 RBIs. It's just 11 games, but those numbers would suggest that Crede's back is just fine. Meanwhile, the Giants have no idea when Noah Lowry will be coming back.
