You called it Doc. I loved the way Leake pounded the bottom of the zone and then blooped one in at the top. Indians were off balance as a result.
The Haniger/Segura trade was the better, but the Gordon imagination was pretty delicious. That said, the Haniger/Segura trade was the easier of the two. Segura had an upside that was was pretty sweet (and he had lived there for a while), he was by far the better SS gamble, and Haniger flashed a whole lot of woody/leathery brilliance, in SSS. Giving up a SS without pop and a enigmatic starter for those two was decently easy. Grabbing Gordon and sticking him in CF.....that one went against all the normal baseball wisdom. It took huevos.
BTW, I'm not sure that Ichiro doesn't stay up when Gamel comes up, especially if we are winning. Can't you see Servais thinking that experience and presence in a 4th OF is a better bet than Heredia, especially for the time being? I can. Especially when it is Ichiro we are talking about. That equation changes if Heredia hits. You know how I stand on that one.
