I think Jurrjens was pretty expendable. He performed pretty admirable in his limited action but he's never been considered much of a frontline prospect. He's a 4th/5th starter type at best.
Hernandez was probably our #2 prospect and the key to the deal. He's put up amazing numbers for a player so young but that's just it -he's young. He could take the next steps and become a star but each of those steps is a pretty decent gamble so it may have been a good move to trade him now, before some of the shine potentially came off him if he failed to improve.
