Glaus / Rolen Trade

Scott Rolen has been traded from the Cardinals to the Blue Jays in exchange for Troy Glaus. Most reaction around the Interwebs seem to be that the Cardinals got the best of this deal.

I can see the point. Glaus will be hitting the weaker NL pitching and he's been the better power hitter the past few years. Plus he's 2-years younger than Rolen and seemingly less injury prone. Something just doesn't seem right.

I like and trust JP Riccardi and have to think that there's more to this deal than meets the eye. Glaus was named as a steroids guy and maybe his weight has dropped to 150 pounds (just kidding)? Maybe Glaus was demanding a trade behind the scenes? Something just doesn't seem right.
