Trade Review: Urban and Cowhide


Urban receives:
2B Brian Roberts BAL
17th rounder

Cowhide receives:
3B Michael Young PHI
21st rounder

Dave was surely counting on Young being traded to a team like the Yankees or Sox, but alas nothing happened. It still could if he clears waivers, but right now it doesn’t look like Dave will get much for his four rounds. Young’s uninspiring 40/8/34/1/.339 line makes you wonder how much he’d be able to accomplish anyway. Now, with Philly clearly looking to the future, it seems unlikely this trade will prove worth it. That said, it’s not a huge loss.

Makes a lot of sense for Dan, who clearly didn’t need Young and could benefit from a better draft board next year. Unless he gets dealt to the Yankees and is entrenched at third, Young is unlikely to give him much value.
