Answer 1

Good trades... but it didn't improve by too much. Besides the fact that your SS got better, not much else changed. Your outfielders were good enough without Rios, you traded a lot of speed for Aramis. So you lowered your speed, but gained some hitting. In my view point, you didn't improve by too much, but you did improve.
