1) Also relevant to the discussion is the fact that not one but two MLB teams, which excellent (even by MLB standards) scouting departments have taken a long look at Delmon Young and determined that he isn't no. 3/4 hitter.
Does Tampa flip Young for Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett if Young is the next Albert Belle? No.
Does Minnesota flip Young for Brandon Morrow and eat Washburns contract if Young is the next Albert Belle? No.
The two organizations who know Delmon Young the best both seem very willing to shop him. This should tell you a lot.
2) The player who compiles the best career is not really relevant to the discussion as well. What each player does over the next 4 to 5 years of his career will determine the winner and loser of this trade. I like Morrow for the next 4-5 years a lot more than I like Morrow over the next 14. Morrow could be a TOR starter next year. Young shows no signs of being a MOTO bat next year.
