Wow! You'd think you'd want to build a team around your young talent.. Reds have SP & Infield Depth.
Travis Wood, Todd Frazier, and Yonder Alonzo?

They would probably insist on Stubbs, in addition to that package.
I'd still do that deal.

I loved HS. LOVED IT... couldn't wait to not hang out at my house, unless of course my folks were out of town, that's when I got my "Home schooling" done.

Going forward, I don't see that big of a difference between Stubbs and Upton. There's a difference, just not a Wood, Frazier and Alonso difference, especially when you factor in contracts and length of team control.

I wouldn't do the deal without getting a crack at offering Upton an LTC first. But Upton is distinctly better now, and has an off-the-charts, Griffey-esque upside.
Upton is nearly three years younger than Stubbs, and has put up better numbers than Stubbs at a younger age at all levels of play.
Stubbs had a .765 OPS in the minors, compared to Upton's .854 OPS.
