I understand the hyperbola... I hate the trade. Worse yet, I do not understand WHY the trade.
Virtually the same things that Doc and others are saying about League - and I do mean the EXACT same things from lock down reliever to secondary stuff nearly ready to take him to the next level to injury prone to possible head case  - can be said about Morrow and his capabilities as a reliever.
The main differences are: a) Morrow may be a #3 starter and
b) Morrow has performed at above average level as a reliever for more than one year in a row.
Thus, Morrow is alot more valuable than League. And it is not even close.
If we really wanted League, we should have been able to trade French or even Fister for him. 
Therefore, since roughly Morrow = League, the ONLY reason the trade was made was to get rid of Morrow... which sucks as a reason.
