No matter which side of the ace-pitcher trade market the Indians have been on
in the last four years, they haven't come out on top.
In July 2008, Cleveland had a sliding major league club, veterans on the
verge of free agency and a farm system in decline. It also had two of
baseball's best pitchers in CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee, and would trade both
of them within a year to rebuild with young talent. So far, the returns have
disappointed.
At the 2008 trade deadline, the Indians dealt Sabathia for Matt LaPorta,
Michael Brantley and minor league arms Rob Bryson and Zack Jackson. Neither
LaPorta nor Brantley has made much of a difference, and Bryson and Jackson
made none.
One year later, Cleveland shipped Lee to the Phillies in another deal that
has yielded little impact talent. Carlos Carrasco flashed mid-rotation
potential, but he had Tommy John surgery in September and will miss the
entire 2012 season. Jason Donald and Lou Marson fit best as backups, while
minor league righthander Jason Knapp has had two shoulder surgeries.
Last season, the Indians raced off to the best record in the American League
at 30-15 but had fallen to 52-51 when they reversed roles at the deadline.
They added Ubaldo Jimenez from the Rockies at the cost of their 2009 and 2010
first-rounders, Alex White and Drew Pomeranz, as well as a pair of prospects,
righthander Joe Gardner and first baseman/outfielder Matt McBride. Cleveland
limped to an 80-82 finish as Jimenez went 4-4, 5.10 in 11 starts.
The Indians have made some successful trades in recent years. Acquiring
Carlos Santana from the Dodgers for Casey Blake in 2008 was a steal. Chris
Perez was part of a package from the Cardinals for Mark DeRosa in 2009.
Justin Masterson, Cleveland's top starting pitcher, and lefty bullpen option
Nick Hagadone arrived from the Red Sox in a 2009 trade for Victor Martinez.
Which side of the trade market will Cleveland find itself on in 2012? The
offense has an intriguing nucleus with Santana and Asdrubal Cabrera headed
into their primes, Shin-Soo Choo poised for a bounceback year and homegrown
hitters Lonnie Chisenhall and Jason Kipnis ready for their first full big
legue seasons. The rotation, on the other hands, is full of question marks,
including Jimenez.
If things don't click for the Indians, they'll likely have to turn back to
trade market. The trades of White and Pomeranz and graduations of Chisenhall
and Kipnis have left the system thin of talent. Cleveland's strength in the
minors is its depth of relief pitching, but Hagadone, Chen Lee, Zach Putnam
and Co. aren't going to provide the foundation for a contender.
The Indians' best prospects are years away from contributing. They paid $4.75
million for their first two picks in the 2011 draft, shortstop Francisco
Lindor and righthander Dillon Howard, but they're high schoolers with a
combined five games of pro experiences. Similarly, Dominican outfielder Luigi
Rodriguez and shortstop Tony Wolters have played just 34 games in full-season
leagues.
