The trade deadline has come and gone, along with Victor Martinez.

This trade makes more sense to me than the Lee trade; Martinez is also an All-Star, but catching is something the Indians have in abundance.  With Martinez and Garko gone, I’m guessing Gimenez will take over first base, and the newly-called-up Trevor Crowe will take left field.  I’m guessing Gimenez will also serve as a backup catcher; Marte or Carroll will probably slot into the infield when Gimenez is behind the plate.  Lastly, I’m guessing somebody (Abreu, maybe?) will get sent down to Columbus to make room for Masterson in the bullpen, with LaPorta or Marson taking his roster spot; we probably don’t need to carry 14 pitchers.

My Musical Roster record so far:

- Crowe or LaPorta up – Partly right (Crowe up) – 1/2 point
- Carmona up after one more AAA start – Partly right (Now, not later) – 1/2 point
