If you didn't like the Mark DeRosa trade with Chris Perez's inclusion, you're going to hate to hear this. Jess Todd and Francisco Samuel are supposedly two of the names the Indians can choose from as the PTBNL. The Indians are getting more value than a Billy Mays infomercial.

Color me a bit disappointed in hearing this news. Fox Sports is reporting that promising relievers Jess Todd and Francisco Samuel are two of the names the Indians can choose from to complete the DeRosa deal. I'm afraid to quote their material since it's AP-content, but here's the link. Look in the sidebar to see the scoop from Jon Paul Morosi.

This is shaping up to be one of the most win-now-sided trades in recent memory, and the Indians are already looking to have made bank on their DeRosa rental. I love the fact that we traded for DeRosa, as I've been pulling for him since April, but the reality is, this trade does not help the future of our ballclub at all. You have to give up value to get value, I guess, and the value we're giving up stings quite a bit.

The current ballclub is still trying to find some shape in this mess of injuries and underperforming players, even with DeRosa. Khalil Greene has fallen off the horse again, and Todd Wellemeyer can't find the strikezone. A bit of a mess we're in now, it seems.
