OK in this one

Florida gets

Homer Robinson gets an OS31 A+/B+ SP with A+/B+ attributes. He's got the talent to be a top of the rotation pitcher with a lot of strikeouts. I'd have him as a decent number 1 or great number 2 starter on a lot of teams.

Mike Rivera an OS30 B+/A- A/A CF. Mike is a good litter vs lefties and adequate vs righties. He's best served as a platoon role but can take the full time gig if necessary.

In return Brooklyn gets

Hugh Greason an OS37 B-/A- SP. At this point he's a one year rental at the back end of the rotation. OK but nothing special at the end f his good career.

Gene Gomes an OS24 RF with C/A- C+/A+ attributes. He can hit lefties right now but will struggle to have an adequate average with his low contact numbers. Marginal player.

Bill Duckworth an OS25 RP with C+/A- attributes. Probably close to waiver wire quality. May play a bit but won't have an effective career in the long term.

2 1st round picks

So essentially here we have 2 first round picks and some filler for a top pitcher and a solid 4th OF type. At age 31 getting a top pitcher for 2 first rounders is about as low as you'll find although you will find it in places. On the other hand most top of the rotation guys will have performed better htan Robinson to date. His lack of all star appearances is unusual in a pitcher that should be a top guy. Part of that can be attributed to the team he played for but its something to consider and may down grade him slightly.

I suspect Brooklyn could have gotten more but I don't find it overly troublesome. Just because a trade may be a bit light doesn't mean it should be overturned. I'd let it stand IMO.
