Ben Broussard

The big question now is who is the PTBNL?

Almost certainly Reed. (edit- Or perhaps Mike Morse? These are the only two injured players who I can think of.)

Now way Choo gets you Ben Broussard with some no-name minor league talent thrown in, does he? I don't believe Choo is that highly regarded (AAAA) in the majors, so I'm wondering who that player could be later. Perhaps the Indians just want more time to cherry pick from a list of minor leagers. Hard to say...

Bill Bavasi will be on KJR before the game (~6:20) so maybe he can help clear this up, even without actually naming the player.

This is great for Choo, as he clearly was not going to get a fair chance to play for some strange reason.

More moves to come, that include pitching shortly.

Bavasi is not done.
