It's funny how you quote this years stats when they back up your argument, but igonre them (Johnson vs Smoltz) when they don't.

if we're not gonna agree to the same standards for analyzing these trades, then it becomes purely subjective and a waste of time to do so.

BTW, JL, I would not have taken Johnson for Smoltz. I'm just saying Johnson has been better based on his stats.

I'll stick with my first inclination.

JL doesn't need Smoltz to make it to 162, so I think getting Dye for basically nothing is gonna be a big help to him.
