Escobar...81 ip, 7 wins, 66 k's, 2.89 era, 1.11 Whip
Young...80.2 ip, 6 wins, 68 k's, 2.34 era, 1.14 Whip

I could never see why people got so upset over trades like this? There is no question that Young is a better long term prospect and escobar is an injury risk but as you show they are pretty much producing the same numbers. The guy is not crazy but just an ass
