When Glaus got hurt I was able to trade Thome for Young. I still love the deal, but Thome is tearing the cover off of the ball. I have Soriano, Berkman, Sizemore, A. Jones, and Swisher to make up for the HR's I'm losing with trading Thome. What do you guys think? I thought I got a steal, even with Youngs struggles.

Yes, it was a steal. Thome will continue this for a while, but he (a) will run out of steam, and (b) definitely risks injury (he's out for a couple days right now as a matter of fact).

Steal.
That is a trade you can be proud of.

Young is bound to have another awesome year. 320 20 100. And he will add at least 100 runs. You ripped that guy off. HR's are so overated it seems like you can get so much for a guy like Thome who really is not even close to a guy like Young.
