I look at this deal, and I see Hernandez being better than Jackson(but not by TOO much), the two prospects being relatively equal, but Aviles being far from Valdovinos' talent. I think the deal favors Seattle, but I think it's close enough to allow. Pass.

Look at the stats. Jackson is a salary dump, however, he may do better in Safeco Field. I think with Rossi, KC get the better end of this, but it is a pass for me too.

Yeah, Hernandez's stats haven't been good either. Jackson's slightly worse, but overall, like I said, definitely close enough to pass.

This is a pretty bad deal for KC since Felix isn't that good and has no endurance.

[Porter]

The endurance in this league isnt as strong as most. This is the way I saw it.

Angel > Felix
Aviles = Jackson considering I save potentially 8.5 Mill next season
Rossi > Pridmore = Pridmore is not that good and Rossi could end up the best SP of the 3 potentially (6-10-9)

1) I think TC members should stop defending their own trades in here (I know I'm the one talking) but its not fair to those who can't see the board

2) That being said I think its a pretty fair offer that can go either way, pass

[OrioleMagic]

Valdivinos & Rossi are the best players IMHO. Felix and Edwin may not work out. I didn't think Aviles or Pridmore were dealbreakers either way.

I wasn't going to defend it but when someone thats not on the TC influences that its a bad deal. I felt the logic of the deal was not being looked at in the right way.
