From Jayson Stark:
| Quote: |
The Cleveland Indians traded third baseman/outfielder Casey Blake and cash to the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor leaguers on Saturday. ...
The Indians received minor league catcher Carlos Santana and right-handed pitcher Jon Meloan. Santana is hitting .323 with 14 homers for Inland Empire in the Class-A California League. The hard-throwing Meloan is 5-10 with a 4.97 ERA at Triple-A Las Vegas, but he has piled up 335 strikeouts in only 262 innings in his minor league career. |

| Yikes. I'm surprised the Indians are throwing as many players away as they are. I know they're having a bad season, but I'm not sure it's time to clean house and start over already. They had a lot of good pieces in place. I'm not really familiar with the Indians' farm system though or what they plan to do this offseason. Maybe they have something cooking? |

Good for the Dodgers, who are within 2 games at least of the D-Backs.

I think its a good trade...Blake's a free agent after this year and if we want him back i'm sure we can get him...these trades will just help re-invigorate our farm system..and we still haven't given up any of our core players(Sizemore,Martinez,Hafner,Carmona,Peralta).. besides CC...and from what i've heard, the Santana kid is a great hitter
