Do you believe trading players in the same division? If so, wouldn't an Alex Gordon for Delmon Young trade make since for both KC and Minn?

I've always thought the idea that a team should pay more to acquire someone in-division was stupid. Value is value. If some team in your division offers 5% more than anyone else, take the deal. Gordon's defense at third has been shaky enough that the Twins should pause before taking that deal.
Result? 2012 WAR values: Alex Gordon (6.2), Delmon Young (-1.2). Good job there, Keith!
