Long term may not be the greatest but if I look at it as a GM would a trade, I think it would be an easy decision.
Red Ames was a sentimental pickup. He was an original Warrior back from when I was in an APBA online league about 20 years ago. I tried with last years PT Warriors team to collect as many as I could but several weren't in the game and the team wouldn't be very good. Last year I had as many as nine but I think only five remained (haven't logged into PT20 in weeks). Ames joins Three Finger Brown as an original Warrior on this years squad. Ames, Brown, Frank Smith and Ray Collins (who is too rich for my blood in the AH) anchored my rotation. I have never seen Smith in PT

Wow, twenty years ago is just when I left a play-by-mail Strat-O-Matic league that had begun in 1973 or 4. I'm not sure because I was only in from '84, I think. I know what you mean about trying to get your old players. ESSOM was a keeper league that drafted newly carded players each year. There were separate AL and NL leagues, so crossovers were limited a bit. Twas great fun. I believe it went on-line a couple of years after I left, when everyone finally switched over to the computer game. I lost track, but I believe they also became a fairly extensive head-to-head league. Could still be going. Thanks for reminding me of it.
