M's acquire Jason Davis from Tribe

Seems like a pretty good acquisition, even if I know absolutely nothing about Davis.
He throws hard and seems to have put up decent numbers last season.

Davis is probably better than any potential MLB-ready in-house reliever the Mariners have not named Ryan Feierabend.

Nah; not at this point. He's liable to walk too many guys if given the starting role.
He'll probably play mop-up on the days the pen needs rest.

Hi M's fans,
Best of luck with Jason Davis(or as the players called him JD). I was very high on this guy and I think the Indians were too. He's been tested as a starter, bullpen/setup type and long reliever. His main problems is sometimes he has control issues and lacks the trust in his breaking pitches. This is a low risk/high reward type deal IMO for you. If this guy figures out some way to work in that breaking stuff he could be a steal. The Tribe has some other young players ready for their turn and JD used up all his options. Hopefully the guy works out cause he has some serious stuff fellas. Your team is also ALOT better at fielding than the Tribe. That should help him out as the Indians rely heavily on our offense to get things done. At the worst, you acquired a spot starter or long innings type guy out of the pen.
I don't know your situation in the minors to say if you should have just brought someone else up. It was announced on the Indians official site earlier the PTBNL is 18 year old RHP Gregorio Rosario. Any info you guys can give on this guy? Here is the link.

Not a bade trade for either team, then. Davis'll fill an immediate need in the Mariners pen and Rosario's the type of fringe-average pitcher with good upside that you can develop at little cost. But, like everybody else, you have to question whether a guy that spent two seasons in the DSL is destined for anything more than minor league depth.

This is the first time Bavasi has made a deal in which you can unequivocally say that maybe he got the better end of the deal.

"unequivocally maybe." Gotta love it.
I liked the Broussard trade as well. Choo is only an okay prospect, probably destined to be a fourth outfielder.
Of course, Bavasi has no idea how to use Broussard -- he doesn't fit the hacker ideal -- so he'll probably trade him to a third team for something less valuable than Choo.
I'd say we should keep dealing with Cleveland, but the AsCab-Perez trade was terrible.
