I'll do the math for you.
Even if we conservatively predict that Snider and Drabek never develop at all from what they are today, you can still approximate them as 2 WAR players going forward.
2 WAR x 11 years (5 for Snider, 6 for Drabek)= 22 WAR
And lets say Greinke is a 6 WAR pitcher for the next 2 years of his contract.
6 WAR x 2= 12 WAR
Why should the Jays make this trade again? Especially when they aren't anywhere close to contending in 2011 or 2012?
