Oh, regarding Melancon being on my Minors roster- I'd like to call him back up to the bigs please...

Cleveland would like to outright to the minors:

Jemile Weeks
LJ Hoes

To make space (should they clear irrevocable waivers) the following minor leaguers are to be released:

Mike Kickham
Roger Kieschnick

Thanks! Also Espinosa and Pestano are still on my Fantrax roster, so would be great to get rid of them after they were non-tendered on 4th Feb.
