I do this deal if Arias continues to look good with the bat. I don't think Arias bat plays in RF and his defense is kinda wasted in RF but he's way more valuable at SS if his bat continues to show out to go along with his defense. I don't see a place for Rocchio if that continues to happen. Hays will slide into LF and push Kwan to CF. I think Kjerstad should get fast tracked and start in RF by middle of July. He just got promoted to triple a a couple days ago. If there is one weakness in the Orioles offense its that there MIF can't really hit. I know they have Westburg, Norby, and Ortiz but I would consider Rocchio to be major league ready and a little better than all those mentioned. It gives Baltimore more depth if a prospect pans out. Westburg has gotten some time in the outfield so he could be a potentially canidate to move there. Bieber going there is self explanatory

I don't see why Cleveland would be willing to do this...

I think Cleveland is getting the short end of the stick here and the values agree(for what that's worth). I don't think Cleveland has any interest in Kjerstad with Valera and DeLauter in the system along with Kwan and Brennan in Cleveland. The lineup already has Naylor and Gimenez in it with Bo Naylor surely to make his debut this season. It just doesn't work. I'd love for Cleveland to get Bradish and I surely wouldn't be disappointed in getting Hays, but I don't see Baltimore giving up Hays while they are right in the middle of it. Their window is open and they should be looking to add so Bieber going to them makes a lot of sense. Nothing has convinced me otherwise so a package Bradish, Westburg and Mayo is still ideal to me and seems to make sense for Baltimore too. They improve their starting staff by adding Bieber and they don't give up any current MLB position players to do so.
