I think the one area where I disagree with you here Doc, is that I don’t neccesarilly disagree with the theory in trading Morrow for Young, I’m just not sure if this specific ‘case’ makes sense.
Well, sure.
If you are AWARE of the fact that ten Delmon Youngs will return more, over their careers, than will ten Brandon Morrows (a pitcher who hasn't established himself yet) ...
And you then judge that DESPITE THAT GENERAL PRINCIPLE, you like Brandon Morrow specifically and dislike Delmon Young specifically, then fine. That's your (educated) judgment.
Not sure why Brandon Morrow is a safer bet than other great-looking ML-ready TOR's with a history of shoulder problems, though.

Again: personally, I'd hate to make the trade. Am simply noting that objectively speaking, there's a considerable imperative towards it. I wouldn't blame the M's for ignoring that imperative.
