Indians trade:
CF Drew Robinson, 2nd, 0.5 (Cardinals)
CF Oscar Mercado, 1st, 0.3 (Indians) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa737612&position=SS
SP Taylor Clarke, 1st, 0.3 (Diamondbacks) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa874810&position=P
SS Chris Seise, 1st, 0.3 (Rangers) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa3004142&position=SS
Braves trade:
CF/RF Jackie Bradley Jr., 6th, 3.4 (Red Sox)
RP Michael Lorenzen, 5th, 1.0 (Reds)
Indians cap: +3.0
Braves cap: -3.0
I might end up regretting this deal this year, but probably not next. I think JBJ has a great year, maybe 20/20 in his prime, and I think Lorenzen's an interesting athlete. These specs are mainly close with flaws or lower ceilings, but they'll serve as my bench.
'Your bench should be full of hope' -- Ancient dynasty saying.
Mercado could be the gem here. He's the center of the deal, and my hopes rest on him tapping his raw power more. Drew's chances of succeeding in St. Louis? Better than his chances anywhere, I'd wager. Clarke'll pitch with humidor cured baseballs this year, and I hope he has some early success as a BOR starter. Seise's a bounce back candidate.
Easy dealings.
Thanks, PJ.
