And in his first two seasons Snider has shown a fair amount of inconsistency. It's not like this guy is looking to be the next Pujols. He's looking like a guy who may be a 25-30 homerun guy which is an above average corner outfielder. For this Lowrie guy it's said that his future also may be as a corner outfielder.
I don't think I'm too excited to trade a legitimate established pitcher who can throw 195 innings a year for a prospect who doesn't even have Sniders upside. I certainly wouldn't be calling it a major win.
