Dumb trade to start with. You're giving up the best or second best 2b (which you need to overvalue the stats for because of scarcity at the postion) for a bottom of the top 10 outfielder (which you have to undervalue the stats for because of an abundance of good players at the position and the ability to start multiple OFs). First off, you can't assume you'll be getting Magglio 07, which will be his peak year, secondly Phillips has not reached his potential yet AND he's batting clean up this year. If I had Mags on my team, I would have jumped all over this trade. He's giving you the opportunity to rethink this by trying to shaft you even worse.
