Remind me where Kouz was going to play again? 3b? Andy Marte. 1b? Hopefully Ryan Garko. DH? Travis Hafner.
You can eliminate the OF as Kouz wouldn't be able to hold up in LF. And you can eliminate 2b as Kouz is not a 2bman.
Kouz had no position, and the Indians (for whatever reason) needed a second baseman.
Its a great trade for the Indians - could turn out to be a good trade for San Diego, but right now the Indians won this trade as they traded two players they weren't going to use for a player at a position of need.
