Because he has a detailed history of pitching well in relief, and this first half of the year on a bad team with an injury does not dictate his performance over a career.
Angelos may not WANT to trade Roberts, but blow him away with Blue Chips like Milledge and Pelfrey and he can retool his team to win in a year or two. LaRoche is not a guy that is a deal breaker and Giles for Roberts is a bad trade if you ask me. I'd take Roberts over 85% of the 2nd baseman in the league.
