Doug Mientkiewicz trade?

OT fun fact, in googling how to spell Mientkiewicz i found out he named his son "Steel."

I like this trade for Cleveland at first blush.

Yeah it's a dice throw, but Cleveland has likely done well.

Towers and Ryan are playing an impressive game of "Can you top this".

Twins will never get out of last place at this rate. Live with it.

The Tribe get more for 1 year of Choo then the Twins did of 3 years of Span.

Or six years of Johan.

In fairness, Choo is a better player and they also traded Donald (who sorta sucks but still had potential) and Anderson (overhyped but probably a solid everyday 1B eventually) and a LOOGY. And the Reds got more than just Choo (and their big surrender was Didi). DBacks gave up the best prospect but got a solid shortstop prospect. Man, Cleveland did well on this trade. Every other fan base in baseball is complaining that their GM should've topped this.

Choo is a better player then who...Span? Cause he's not (unless he gets back to his monster 2009/2010 days) and even that's balanced out by the fact that he's got one year of team control while the Nats get 3 of Span at a below market cost. He's a brutal defender and a platoon player now.

Donald, Anderson (everyday 1B really?) and a loogy are marginal players at best.

The Span trade was a good one regardless of this ridiculous trade that the Indians pulled off.
