That being said, absolutely not. Trade two 22 year old starters(1st and 3rd), for a 27 yr old starter making 3 times the money. That's poppy-cock.

If a guy of this caliber slipped all the way out of the draft, it's yet another sign of the value draft picks have. Obviously every team made a mistake passing on him. But the point is, those teams had the opportunity to pick him. Those opportunities vanish if you don't have picks.
