If you had offered to bet me that Abraham Almonte would have any impact at all when the Cleveland Indians acquired him, you could have made some money. He looked like the classic AAAA player, with marginal success over a prolonged minor league career and no major league track record to indicate that he was any more than a warm body. Over the last two years the Indians had traded Justin Masterson, Asdrubal Cabrera, and David Murphy at the deadline and had basically nothing to show for it; who would have thought the Marc Rzepczynski trade would be the one that brought a real asset.
