Huff is a notoriously slow starter (and even Rob acknowledges this) and his average was at .246 after April last year.Again, I don't see the difference between this deal and the Reyes deal. It's not fair to veto one deal and not the other. I also want to bring up the logic Rob used to veto one of my deals:"One problem with this trade is that Crisp + a mid-level prospect (Duda) was traded for an upper echelon prospect (Colome). So in this trade his value was the difference between a mid-level prospect and upper echelon prospect. Later that day, his value is being represented as the better player of two traded for a top level Catcher."Applying the same logic to this deal, Taylor was acquired in the following deal:CI Tatis, Fernando, $2m (2011)OF Taylor, Michael, $0.5m (P-n/a)forCI Martinez, Francisco, $0.5m (2012)P Tejeda, Robinson, $2m (2012)Taylor's value is established as a low level prospect (who by the way has a bad contract) plus an overpaid reliever. Yet a month later, he is traded for a CI that finished top 10 in both 2008 and 2010. For the record, I don't have any vested interest in either deals. I barely play PHI or OAK. Just looking for some consistency.
