The Indians have traded Marc Rzepczynski to the San Diego Padres for Abraham Almonte in a fairly minor trade deadline deal this afternoon.
Almonte is a 26-year-old outfielder who has a .233/.283/.336 batting line in 362 MLB plate appearances over the last three years. He has no power, he doesn't draw walks, and he doesn't steal bases, all of which is to say he's not much of an offensive player. Defensively he looks perhaps mildly above average. He strikes me as a lesser version of Tyler Holt, which is to say he strikes me as not much of a Major League ballplayer.
