Hmm... it's a good deal, but you were clearly winning the first deal you posted, because you were getting a mid-rotation SP for fungible assets (an SP5 and a mopup). You're getting much more here, but...
a) the LF you gave up is not trivial. 450-500 PA of a good starting LF is a real asset.
b) I don't think it's typical for a 21 yo to gain 8 points of stamina (especially with one offseason already gone), although I'd certainly be willing to see examples to the contrary. At DUR/ST 24/61 he's about 150 innings of excellent but not truly elite pitcher.
Still a win, and reasonable for you to like it better than the other one, but I don't know that I would call it "far better."
This is only my 4th season. But ts a 4th season of a new world.
" because you were getting a mid-rotation SP for fungible assets (an SP5 and a mopup)"
Not knowing for sure if this is true. But I am guessing that the level of talent in a new world. And the level in a world that has been going 20+ seasons. Is a lot diffrent.
Maybe its me. But I feel like these guys are a lot better then a SP5 and Mopup. And I can say the same about the guy I got.
