December 11, 200421 yr We will have to see who benefits from this one. I like Lawton, but the Indians desperately needed bullpen help.
December 11, 200421 yr like I said before I think this is a good trade for both teams, CLE need bullpen help and now they get a closer/set-up guy in Rhodes. PIT get a above-avg OF that could lead off now that Kendall is gone.
December 11, 200421 yr I actually wouldn't have minded a Rhodes for Encarnacion deal which is basically what will come if Encarcion is traded (type of deal that is)
December 11, 200421 yr I actually wouldn't have minded a Rhodes for Encarnacion deal which is basically what will come if Encarcion is traded (type of deal that is) 632529[/snapback] i would rather keep Juan, hes still young and can easily rebound next year
December 11, 200421 yr I think this trade helps both teams, but the Pirates have filled a more pressing need.
December 11, 200421 yr Blockbuster I like the deal for both teams though, Indians improve their weakness and the Bucs keep improving.
