270 BA, 13 RBI, 3 HR, played in 87 games. Why the hell are we trading for him?

That .270 average puts him top 3 with us. I'm guessing they get him cheap and its to address the fact they only have 4 outfielders on roster

Buster Olney tweeted that talks are on the 1 yard line. His #'s this year:
.273BA/.374 OBP/.743OPS
3 HR/33runs/13RBI

Will he hit in the 2 spot?

People bash on the Indians front office, including me. But, I feel like they wouldn't be pulling the trigger on this move if there isn't another move to go along w/ this one. Unless they think they can tread water until Choo comes back in a few weeks.

They need someone to drive in runs....he doesn't fit. Unless there is another move in the works.

Agree. They don't make this move if they aren't planning on being buyers and making another deal or two.

There aren't enough moves available to make this a World Series team this year. IMHO

Its a complete joke. Honestly at this point it is not even worth making a trade. This team is now in the "red" when it comes to run differential, and they are only 2 games over .500. After their series with the royals, they have 4 games with the redsox, 3 with the rangers, and 3 with the tigers back-to-back-to-back. If they dont fuck up with the royals (good chance they will) those 10 games will bury them. There is no point in trading away any future pieces for fucking Fukudome.

Who could they spend money on? They already offered to pick up Beltran's contract.

I agree. I thought this to be the case even at the All Star break.

I would hope that the FO would be smarter than that. If we didnt give up too much for him than I think its a decent move

No thanks. But at the same time, if he is for a PTBNL or A player than why the fuck not? Certainly better than Kearns, Buck, or Duncan. Not a huge upgrade, but an upgrade.

I also feel they will be making another, much bigger move, to compliment this.

The real question is, why now and not 10 days ago?


ALSO, another LH bat? Jesus. We have like 3498267785 LH hitters and 2943857475826 RH pitchers.
