Re: Red Sox Trade Rumor
[ QUOTE ]
The value in the deal is the money. PECOTA has Helton worth $31m over the next five years. I'm all for trading for veteran talent if your a contending team, but usually I like it to be a clear upgrade. PECOTA has Lowell worth $33m and Youkilis at $52m over the same time frame. No way do I go for this deal if I'm the Sox unless the Rockies are eating $75m.

$75m lol.
You aren't factoring in the additional wins Helton gives you right now. Have we learned nothing from BBTN's "marginal wins wrt playoffs" article that has been discussed ad nauseum in here?
