Default Am I going crazy?

In one of my fantasy leagues, a manager has been after me to trade him Escobar (pitcher)...he made several offers that I didn't like until finally we agreed on Young for Escobar (straight up). Some jackass got on the site and said it was a BS trade and I was cheating...I thought this was about as even as a trade could be...is he crazy or am I?
Escobar...81 ip, 7 wins, 66 k's, 2.89 era, 1.11 Whip
Young...80.2 ip, 6 wins, 68 k's, 2.34 era, 1.14 Whip

I could never see why people got so upset over trades like this? There is no question that Young is a better long term prospect and escobar is an injury risk but as you show they are pretty much producing the same numbers. The guy is not crazy but just an ass

Escobar is a big surprise.He has always been capable of doing this.He has terrific stuff,but for him to be out there for the last out of a game? That isn't something I would have expected.This last game he pitched is the more typical Escobar.Pitched decently,but had to go out cuz of 115 pitches.He got hurt by a bad tag by Figgins at 3rd(drug addict tricked him...happens to most all of us, once.....what ya gunna do?) That is the more typical Escobar(the ball gets hit,and you take what comes.)I would expect more of this type of game(where whether he wins,or not, will be determined by the Halo bats.) Hope I'm wrong though(and he is dominant.)I do know that his momma must be deaf.... to name him Kelvim.
