How dumb is our general manager? (A continuing series)

Very dumb.

Let's start with three baseball facts:
1. Younger is better than older.
2. Less money is better than more money.
3. Better is better than not better.

How do these apply to yesterday's trade?
1. Alfonzo Soriano was born on January 7, 1976. Brad Wilkerson was born on June 1, 1977.
2. Alfonzo Soriano made $7,500,000 last year. Brad Wilkerson made $3,050,000 last year. Each will make more money this year, but I promise you that Brad Wilkerson will not make more than Soriano.
3. Will be dicussed later.
