Rolen headed North, Glaus back to NL

The Cardinals and Blue Jays are in the final stages of finishing a deal that would send 3B Scott Rolen to the Blue Jays and 3B Troy Glaus. I feel that the Jays want to rid themselves of Glaus because of his mentioning in the dreaded Mitchell Report... Scott Rolen had to go. He has never really gotten along with manager Tony Larussa, and the Cardinals need more protection in that lineup behind Albert Pujols. Heres the numbers...

Glaus:
2005 - 149 games - .258/.363/.522/.885 - 37HR's
2006 - 153 games - .252/.355/.513/.868 - 38HR's
2007 - 115 games - .262/.366/.473/.839 - 20HR's

Rolen:

2005 - 56 games - .235/.323/.383/.706 - 5 HR's
2006 - 142 games - .296/.369/.518/.887 - 22 HR's
2007 - 112 games - .265/.331/.398/.729 - 8 HR's

Glaus looks like the more consistent one, but Rolen has superior defense.
