It was great looking back on all the awesome baseball logos of the past, thanks for that. On a more speculative note, the Joba for Slowey trade proposal is an interesting idea. I think the Yankees would think that Joba is worth more but, at the same time, I don’t think any other team looks at Joba and sees the value he had a few years ago.

Find it quite humorous that some Twins writer thinks Kevin Slowey is worth Chamberlain, a down the line replacement for Mariano Rivera in a couple of years. This is the #4-5 Kevin Slowey on a team like the Yankees would normally like to have in the rotation, or not at all.
Power setup guy like Chamberlain, who might be able to get his FB back up to 98mph or so this year like it was back in 2008 if the Yankees will leave him in the BP is worth far more than a down the line kevin Millwood/Paul Byrd innings eater starter like Slowey, though as Red Sox fan this move would be liked greatly.

I feel like you are overvaluing Chamberlain. He’s not the same pitcher he used to be. Slowey has been more valuable recently in terms of WAR, and I would argue that a starter is more valuable than a reliever, but to each his own. It seems the Yanks and Twins are each more fond of their own guy in this situation, and I highly doubt this trade will happen.

While I personally wouldn’t trade Chamberlain for Slowey for the simple fact that I think Joba can produce similar stats as a starter I don’t agree with any of your reasoning.. .
