THE MEAS TRADE: TWO MONTHS LATER
Jacksonville GM Clifton Hoping Chicago GM Jackson Didn't Get The Better Of Him In Deal
By Brandon Clifton

SIMBL Contributor
On 7/16/07, star OF Eddie Meas was traded from Jacksonville to Chicago in a blockbuster trade. Jacksonville received SP Neil Posey, SP Earl Hendrickson, and 2B Bill Lucas along with some cash.
The players involved in the deal have had both good and bad performances since the deal. Below are how each of those players panned out over the following two months.
OF Eddie Meas
Chicago OF Eddie Meas went into a terrible slump immediately after being traded. His numbers in July were 0.159/0/7. He bounced back in August and won the Batter of the Month award for August with a stat line of 0.398/10/35. Chicago GM Randy Jackson was looking like a genius at this point. Meas somewhat cooled off in Sept with a .229/3/9 stat line, but he had a 0.362 OBP. Overall on the year, Meas's power numbers were down (30 HR's vs. 42 in 2006), but his OBP numbers were slightly up (0.412 vs. 0.402 in 2006). Overall Meas had a good year, making the 30/30 club again. It's fair to say Meas has helped Chicago's playoff push down the stretch. Giving up Posey and Hendrickson didn't hurt Chicago's playoff chances for this season, as both players were in the minors at the time of the deal.
SP Neal Posey
"To say I'm concerned about Posey would be an understatement", notes JAX owner Brandon Clifton. In 7 starts so far with JAX, Posey is 0-4 with a 7.84 ERA. His 1.87 WHIP is a little concerning, too. While his ratings seem to indicate he should be able to pitch at the big league level, Posey has show no signs that he is ready to play anywhere in the majors. Perhaps next year Posey will take a big step towards contibuting for Jacksonville.
SP Earl Hendrickson
Hendrickson spent a majority of his time at AA and compiled a 4-7 record with a 4.82 ERA. Hendrickson will turn 25 during this upcoming offseason, so Jacksonville is looking for him to develop during spring training. "Time may be running out for Earl", notes Clifton. "I need to see another two points in ratings increases in each category before I consider moving him up to the big club", said Clifton.
2B Bill Lucas
Lucas had a 0.194/0/4 August. While Clifton thought "it can't get any worse", Lucas proved him wrong and followed that up with a 0.185/3/7 September. What do you expect from a guy making $9.7M/year?
Overall, it appears Chicago seems to have gotten the best side of this trade so far. Meas had a solid, but not a typical Meas-like year this season. He has helped Chicago stay in the playoff hunt. Posey has been very disappointing in limited work with Jacksonville. Hendrickson is looking to develop over the next year or so and remain a prized prospect. Do not expect to see Lucas in JAX past May of next season.
