Indians Trade Analysis
July 29, 2008 · Filed Under Fantasy Baseball · Comment
Of all the teams making splashes in the proverbial trade pond, the Indians almost undeniably have made the most wake in the past month in all of baseball. From their unwavering declaration to deal certain players to their eventual execution of these plans, their mid-season transaction portfolio draws parallels to that of Hamilton Porter’s famous “cannonball” in The Sandlot. They’ve doused onlookers (and sparked rebuttal trades) and provided trade partners with essential assets for their respective stretch runs, all the while bringing their farm system to a level that it hasn’t seen since… well since it held Sizemore, Martinez, Hafner, Carmona, Peralta, Phillips, among others.
