Someone shoot the Detroit GM!
This is 1916, so Cobb is 29 - no "he's getting old" to worry about, he's hitting his prime. Detroit is HORRIBLE, and they really, really need someone like Cobb. Hughes is a good pitcher... but he's a reliever (they need starters), and it's TY COBB.
I'm just in shock.

One of my beefs with OOTP 4 is that it seems to undervalue players who hit for average and have a lot of speed (You'll notice (outside the deadball era) that players who hit for a high average but don't hit for power or drive in many runs are rarely all-stars. I've seen guys hut .350 with 45 steals at the break not make the all-star game over guys who hit .285 with 11 HR). The game also doesn't 'recognize' leadoff type hitters. All the .300 hitters with speed and no power seem to bat 3rd in my leagues. But that's another issue...
Anyway. Remember that the game sees numbers, it doesn't know names or reputations, and as long as certain traits are undervalued you'll see 'lopsided' trades.
