Trading Ivie was a bit of a challenge trade. It looked like he was he was going to lose his starting spot to Alfredo Griffin, turing him into an over-priced back-up. We traded him for another first baseman, though Meyer can play third as well, but at a significant reduction in salary... enough that we are FINALLY in the black on payroll.
Now Griffin has not been guaranteed anything, so if Meyer can win that starting spot, more power too him.
