Blake to cut into LaRoche's value: The Dodgers have traded Carlos Santana and right-hander Jonathan Meloan to Cleveland for third baseman/outfielder Casey Blake and cash. The Indians would move Andy Marte into their everyday third base slot. There is still no word on if the Dodgers plan to use Blake as their everyday third baseman ahead of Blake DeWitt and Andy LaRoche. (Updated 07/26/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
We expect that would be the case, but Blake brings experience and versatility to the Dodgers and could play just about anywhere. The 34-year-old has played right field, first base and third for the disappointing Indians, who signed him as a minor league free agent in 2002. DeWitt and LaRoche seem to be the players who would be affected negatively the most by this deal and it's highly possible the team could try to move a player like LaRoche in another deal.
