From a baseball standpoint, I like this trade for Milwaukee.  They traded an 
often hurt, relatively poor fielding 31 year old outfielder in a career year. 
 They got a very promising 23 year old outfielder, plus two pitchers, one at 
least (Villone) has an outstanding chance to be a dominant pitcher.
