Approved trade...please explain how this was approved...

Posted By Gary

The following trade was approved by the Commish.
This trade seems very unbalanced.
It involves a perpetual traditional league.
What is Mike thinking in approving this trade??

To Team A: (Name/PA's/OBP/SLG)
Moises Alou 638/ .357/ .462
Luis Gonzalez 679/ .402/ .532
Mark Derosa 288/ .316/ .383
FA4

To Team B:
Trot Nixon 513/ .396/ .578
FA1
R4
R4

So Team A gains 1605 Plate Appearances for 513 given away.

Gonzalez and Nixon are about even...allowing that Nixon is younger (but now at his peak).
So, does M.Alou, Derosa equal a FA1, R4, R4 ??

I don't think so.

I don't see how this trade can be considered acceptable, when the trade for Livian Hernandez etc. discussed earlier was not.

Comments welcome!
