I might actually prefer him to Haase just because he is younger, but none Mejia, Haase, or Kelly are anything to care about.Rays Designate Francisco Mejía For Assignment

I'd like to play the rest of this season out with Bo and Haase. I think Eric is an ideal match for Bo and he gives us some RH power off the bench if needed. Now clearly he isn't hitting as well this season, but hopefully it's just an off year and he gets back to being who he has always been at the plate.
Everyone loses some. They are so impressive because of how many prospect for prospect deals they have won. Those are just on a different level.
I can see that but arent a lot of our trades situations where we sold off an established vet (and a lot of times a pretty good one) for prospects? I mean you are kinda *suppossed* to get good prospects back in those trades, although ofcourse not everyone does.
Yep the kind of trades that the Cleveland FO have made, generally have been trading concentrated short term value for more spread out long term value. There is a large premium on that concentrated short term value, so measuring the WAR without a leverage adjustment (getting the value when it matters) on it does no favors.
I see the concept. I just don't know about the execution. Westburg seems more if an IF without much experience in the OF. Also, I may be one of the few guys that still think Valera has a pretty decent ceiling.@Mott the Hoople I ended up creating this idea with the response I had to you in a different thread... @Gson @CDAV45 always gotta get your opinions as well lol

Let's see here...
Cleveland gets
MIF/OF Jordan Westburg (Bal)
1-2 prospects from Marlins 23 signing/drafting class (Fabian Lopez maybe?)
@Tondo was there anyone you really liked from the Marlins draft/signing class of 23 outside the top couple pitchers they got in the draft)
Marlins get
MIF Freeman (Cle)
OF Valera (Cle)
Orioles get
SP Max Meyer (Mia)
RP Soriano (Mia)
Essentially Cleveland gets a solid RH bat to mix in with the heavy LH organization. Westburg brings in the thump from the right side and likely will end up changing from 2B to being a 1B/RF type of guy. He's a guy who can get you 10-15 SBs per person while doing 50-60 extra base hits... I think he would be a good mix in the teams lineup. Then creating a roster space, while getting long term prospects, keeps the organization flowing with solid prospects...
Marlins do this, since they need more hitting... Valera and Freeman make sense to bring back... Arraez to 1B... Freeman to 2B, Chisholm back to SS... While Burger is at 3B.. Then Valera gets an OF spot...
Now the trade would hinge upon Meyer's medicals, but he was a top 50 prospect before the injury and still has been a top 100 prospect, hence why a second arm of some type will go back to Baltimore. This adds a long term arm that Baltimore badly needs...
Thoughts?
