Fair enough, I think we've probably exhausted this part of the argument. My only point was that I believe that the Yankees offer was better than the one in which he was obtained.
As for all the trades made since 2005, it's just tough to continue to debate it considering it's pure speculation on the part of both sides. I must say though, I do see your point and I respect it, I just happen to disagree (like I said though, that may be the biased part of me).
