How do I undervalue your talent?
You overvalue it.
Look at the career numbers of Martinez and Quintana and then look at when you are talking about trading Martinez vs when Quintana was traded. It's practically an identical situation. Now take into account that Quintana is a lefty, pitched in the AL, and the trade was a crosstown deal.
You could probably look to get one top 20ish guy, another fringe top 100 guy, and a couple mid tier guys with a peak potential of back end rotation/complimentary position player. You are out of your mind if you are thinking Martinez is bringing back a Torres. He's not a Madison Bumgarner level pitcher.
