Because I find it interesting when you advocate trading for an individual who isn't as good as Teixeira, even though trading for Berkman costs young talent whereas Teixeira only costs money.
Your principal argument for not trading for Teixiera was that the marginal upgrade was not worth spending $23 million per for, which is sound (even though I don't agree with it). Now you're saying trade good young talent away for a lesser player? Doesn't make sense, especially when signing Teixeira would NOT have blocked the golden boy.
