PrintThe Dodgers got Casey Blake from the Indians for a pitcher Jon Meloan and Class A catcher Carlos Santana. The indans have to pay for Blake's contract.
Meloan, 24, is a right-hander with an unorthodox delivery who pitched briefly for the Dodgers last year in a September call up. He is 5-10 with a 4.97 ERA at Triple-A Las Vegas. He was ranked as the organization's No. 8 prospect by Baseball America entering this season.
Santana, 22, is a slugging switch-hitting catching prospect who currently has 14 homers, 96 RBIs and a .323 average at Inland Empire. He might be considered the key to the deal for the Indians, but with All-Star Russell Martin in the Major Leagues and Lucas May at Double-A, the Dodgers are comfortable with their depth at the position.
