When I first heard about the trade, the minor leaguers names weren't mentioned and I felt the Pirates got better end of deal. I would rather have an everyday player coming off a 32 HR season than a reliever who hasn't thrown more than 54 innings in season.

For now, I give the Pirates the edge based on the big leaguers swapped, but Lillibridge can swing the deal in the Braves favor.
