The return on mid-season trades the last few years seems to be extraordinarily high and trading a starting catcher to a playoff-contention team would presumably yield a nice July package. It gives the Indians time to figure out what's going on with Hafner as well.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06801782543541822390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-232691803358488302008-12-21T14:23:00.000-05:002008-12-21T14:23:00.000-05:00It should also be pointed out that Nelson's stats ...It should also be pointed out that Nelson's stats last year aginst LH batters are superior to most literal loogies. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you about Shoppach and, again, Wedge is giving me headaches in a business that's supposed to entertain.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09113137092719807402noreply@blogger.com
