Welcome to the Blue, Erick Mejia!

I guess the Dodgers feel it's time to get a little deeper in the infield. It has just been announced that they have traded starting pitcher Joe Wieland to Seattle for infielder Erick Mejia. The recent additions to the starting pitching staff and with several top prospects knocking at the door, the opportunity for Weiland to play a role on the Dodgers was quickly floating away. So, they send him northward in exchange for a kid who plays on the diamond - an area currently shallow in depth. That's not to say that Mejia is any sort of answer.
