I really don't have a problem with this trade if your a Red Soxs fan.....

Andy Marte is by far one of the top 5 prospects in baseball.

2004 he had a .889 OPS (.364 OBP, .526 SLG)
2005 he had a .878 OPS (.372 OBP, .506 SLG)

Renteria is historically a great defense SS, but he had 30 errors last year. And I think his best offensive days are behind him.

His best offensive years in major categories...

Average:.330 in 2003 (.276 in 2005)
Hits:194 in 2003 (172 in 2005)
HR:16 in 2000 (8 in 2005)
RBI:100 in 2003 (80 in 2005)
SB: 41 in 1998 (9 in 2005)
OBP: .394 in 2003 (.335 in 2005)
SLG: .480 in 2003 (.385 in 2005)

The Braves are banking that Edgar goes back into his National League form, but in reality, I believe he is a player that hit his peak in 2003, and is on his downside, both offensive, and with last year's stats, defensively.

Marte is a hot shot prospect with a very very high probability of producing quality numbers if not next year, then the next.
