Brooklyn Acquires All-Star Davis

Local news outlets are reporting that the Brooklyn Superbas have picked up All-Star outfielder George Davis and pitcher Buck Hooker from the Philadelphia Athletics in exchange for Jake Stahl and Bull Durham. Based on what I see, this trade heavily favors Brooklyn.

Brooklyn receives:

George Davis (34-year old CF/3B/SS)
1st round pick, 14th overall in 1896 draft
Gold Glove at 3B (1896); 2-time All-Star
.237/.295/.321 in  590 PA for   1.9 WAR (MLB 1904)
.280/.343/.366 in 2428 PA for  15.3 WAR (MLB / 4 seasons)

Buck Hooker (24-year old P)
4th round pick, 59th overall in 1901 draft
Former 16th ranked prospect (1902)
13-13 record with 2.97 ERA and 1.8 WAR in 233 IP (MLB / 1902 season)
10-11 record with 2.51 ERA and 6.1 WAR in 207 2/3 IP (Double-A & Triple-A / 2 seasons)
Philadelphia receives:
Code:
Jake Stahl (23-year old LF/1B)
2nd round pick, 24th overall in 1902 draft
Former 51st ranked prospect (1903)
.204/.256/.320 in 430 PA for -0.1 WAR (MLB / 2 seasons)
.297/.365/.487 in 340 PA for  3.0 WAR (Triple-A / 1904 season)

Bull Durham (27-year old P)
5th round pick, 74th overall in 1903 draft
6-3 record with 4 saves, 3.35 ERA, and 1.8 WAR in 80 2/3 IP (Triple-A / 1904 season)
