Pena has decent numbers and is young, but I gotta think Arroyo is more valuable.

please explain (the value part, not the crack part).

The Red Sox have a bunch of young guys in the system that they are obviously ready to showcase. As I recall, Arroyo had basically already been demoted to the pen.
On the other hand, Pena put up some really good numbers the last 2 years, playing 50-65% of the games for the Reds. The ballpark may have had a large part to do with those numbers, but still.
I think giving up Pena is a big loss to just get a middle of the road 'starter' in Arroyo.
