It would seem that there is a difference in opinion here.
some think the walker side gets the advantage and some think the Hill side gets the advantage.
That alone, plus The fact of putting all entangebles together say the trade isn't that unfair to any side. I see no reason to not allow this trade. So Larry Walker is old and had an off year. you have to believe he should bounce back.
As for the first round FA pick you don't know if its going to be #1 or #30.
G. Hill will never be a starter, and Simas, well whatever..
Some trades are based on taking chances I like the Idea of it..
I would like to know the reason it was turned down by PB though.
