//We have some interesting guys left exposed. But they all are still a little raw.

I'm still pissed about him mucking up two plays in LF vs the Twins

Back your bags, Luis, you're a hoser now



[The Indians have traded Luis Valbuena to the Blue Jays in exchange for cash considerations, according to the team's officlal Twitter account.  The infielder was designated for assignment on November 18th.

Valbuena spent the majority of 2011 with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate where he hit .302/.372/.476 with 17 homers in 472 plate appearances.  The infielder, who turns 26 on November 30, played 194 games for the Indians' varsity squad in 2009 and 2010 and saw a good deal of time at second base.]

$12.73 - My guess at the cash.

Canadian or US currency?

[bookelly]

No, I mean, we paid them...$12.73 USD.

[RedDawg53]

That's a good deal IMO.

As soon as Valbuena crosses the border into Canada or 24 hours after the "deal". Which ever comes first= No refunds/no exchanges Toronto. As is.

With the Blue Jay Grip-it-n-rip-it approach, he might not be terrible.
