The Cardinals have dealt 27-year old lefty reliever Marc Rzepczynski to the Cleveland Indians for 20-year old righty swinging 2B/SS Juan Herrera. Rzepczynski pitched in 11 games (0 starts) for the Cardinals this year and he was 0-0 with a 7.84 ERA and a 1.94 WHIP. He pitched in 109 games (0 starts) in his three years with the Cardinals and he was 1-6 with a 4.63 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Juan Herrera played in 39 games in A-ball for the Indians this year and he was 41 of 149 (.275 avg, .735 OPS) with 20 runs scored, 1 homer, 11 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. Herrera has now played in 136 games in his first three years in the minors and he is 137 of 479 (.286 avg, .766 OPS) with 78 runs scored, 2 homers, 46 RBIs and 17 stolen bases. This was a good deal for the Cardinals as Rzepczynski has not been too good for them and they got a decent prospect for him.
