Adell going to Oakland would be a fitting punchline to the MLBTR chat crowd. The swing and miss is excessive and if you play him in the Show before July he’ll probably be arb-eligible next season. Bachman struggles to find the strike zone. Dion and Messick are college trained arms using good Command of Average stuff to put up excellent numbers against A-ball hitters. Including one of them in a trade would make sense, both is redundant.
I don’t feel like Cleveland is willing to give up that much to get Rooker… Rosario is fine, but they really like Dion and Messick, and with the fact they lack lefties in the organization, plus Rooker is at 13 value, I don’t see them doing the trade. There was a reason why I kind of asked Blitzer to add Dion last season since in Cleveland, at worst, he will be a solid lefty out of the pen for Cleveland (Aka he’s getting the nick name of “Little Kershaw”)
I just want to see Rooker keep his bat up until July before I decide if he’s worth Cleveland trading for in my mind.
With the way Cleveland has been drafting and handling college pitchers, I would put good money on Cleveland believing Campbell will be the next top 100 pitching prospect they produce. I really doubt he will be available in almost any deal.
Down vote for Oakland.

I think watching how Rooker does into July is a wise decision. Maybe Campbell will be pitching by then and he can be part of the discussion.
