A #1 rookie for a #2 rookie isn't "OUTLANDISH"

Posted By DaveF

Ken,

Whether you take the highest possible value for Guillen or the lowest possible value for him, he is NOT a differnce maker as far as upsetting the league balance.

This is NOT like trading Hank Blalock & Ohka for Ray Durham (your trade that I objected to).

Guillen isn't worth ANY of those 3 guys (with the possible exception of Durham).

The COMMISH should scutinize trades that CAN upset league balance and leave alone trades of marginal players even if to him it looks like the marginal trades are marginally unfair. It just isn't worth his time and has no long term effect on league balance...which is the only reason for him vetoing trades at all as far as I can see...or almost the only reason.
