You got a steal. Nice job.

Did somone just say that Abreu has been slumping since last year's all-star break? Ummm....you might want to check your facts before you write something so stupid.
Abreu has a .442 OBP - the best in the NL. He also has a higer average, better slugging numbers, scores as many runs as Figgins (56-55), and will drive in many more. Figgins will only be more valuable in steals, and Abreu still does a good job there.
Abreu straight-up for Figgins would have been a steal, and getting Lowe is just a bonus.
I can't believe anyone on here would even question who got the better of this one....I wish I had guys like that in my league.

I would trade Chone Figgins for Abreu, but I think also giving up Lowe might be a little too much. Figgins is not an RBI machine but he can get on base and steal around. I think it's impossible for Abreu to have a worse second half than his first half.

Abreu's been slumping since the 2005 homerun derby. I think he'll have a 25 homer 89 RBI season. Lowe has helped the dodgers and seemed a good choice. However, you just gave up a guy with a lot of speed and a lot more to give to fantasy baseball players. Now good trade 5 years from now you'll be shaking your head.
