In the offseason of 1959-1960 the Tigers traded Rocky Colavito, one of the best HR hitters in the game, for Harvey Kuehn, who'd led the league in average the year before but who wasn't, overall, anything near the hitter that Colavito was. Kuehn did play a more demanding position but was also 4 years older and I don't think it surprised anyone when Colavito wound up being the much, much better player from 1960 onwards.
My point is, sometimes teams just don't make smart trades. FWIW though I do prefer playing stats-only for exactly situations like this: is the AI undervaluing this guy because they know something about him that I don't? I prefer not knowing the answer to that question.
