The Indians acquired OF MICKEY HALL from the Boston Red Sox today to complete the trade of August 12th that sent RHP PAUL BYRD to the Red Sox for a PTBNL. The 24-year old Hall spent most of last season at Double-A Portland, where he hit .232 (61-263) with 16 2B, 13HR and 35RBI in 82 games with the Sea Dogs. Hall also spent time with the Single A Lancaster JetHawks where he hit .216 (8-for-37) in 12 games. The Marietta, GA native was a second-round pick by the Red Sox in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft and owns a 6-year minor league career average of .239 (434-1815) in 538
games.

Is this the replacement for Ryan Goleski...?
Just noticed he's another Ohio boy, from Garfield Heights originally.
He had a decent 2007, hitting .280 (.392 OBP) with 24 2B, 9 3B, and 11 HR in 106 games, but regressed last season.
Looks to me like we just picked up an organizational player for Byrd who can probably help a weak OF in Akron. Seems about right.
