Brewers trade: 2B - Dustin Pedroia, 2016, 9.5 SS - Raul Adalberto Mondesi, 1st, 0.3 (Royals) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa659237&position=SSSP - Mark Appel, 1st, 0.3 (Phillies) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa501726&position=PSP - Triston McKenzie, 1st, 0.3 (Indians) www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=sa874760&position=PIndians trade: SP Felix Hernandez $11.5 2016 Brewers cap: +1.1 Indians cap: -1.1 I like Mondesi's chances to translate his talent into workable skills. Some have him as high as 16 on top-100 specs lists, most have him in the 20s. Appel and McKenzie are both solid prospects for very different reasons--Mc has an Ace ceiling, and Appel has all the stuff and polish but not the results. It'll be cool to watch them develop. Pedroia's my 2B, as I continue to build the 2012 fantasy team monster. Good deal, Brewers.

I do this trade to add Felix to what I now consider a strong pitching staff.
I lose Pedoria which he helped me to offset the salary of Felix, so that is really his best contribution.
Mondesi is highly ranked because of his tools, but while he is still young, those tools haven't looked like they will develop fully into skills.
Appel has the arsenal, but lacks the command and that is huge. Especially in Philly where missing your spot tends to end in a homerun and he gave up 13 last season in 25 starts.
McKenzie is the one I will miss most, while I don't believe he has the ceiling of an ace, I do think he could become a good #2/strong 3 for a ceiling. But he is also 18 and atleast a few years away.
Thanks Indians.
