If Marte could be sent down to learn the outfield and 1B it might make sense, but otherwise I doubt it will happen.</p> If we did not already have Wily Mo Pena and Dukes I would agree, but I don’t see waiving Boone right now and I doubt Bowden would do it to his friend.

I still believe Boone is a valuable player currently and Bowden is sold on Wily Mo and we're not sure what Dukes can do. If Belliard is traded and Boone (Willy Harris) can play 2B, then Marte can take Belliard's place on the active roster.</p> I’d take a chance on him BUT who goes?

Nats should take Marte, but keep Boone -- drop either Estrada or Mackowiak.</p> I doubt Cleveland will let it happen, and, if they do, expect that one of the teams with better waiver priority will beat the Nationals to the punch (Texas?), but if Marte comes available to the Nats on waivers, I agree with both Brian and Tofu Dog.

Boone is the obvious candidate and if the “Plan” means anything would be tossed over the side for Marte in a heartbeat.

It's tough to give up on a young talent like that, especially one who plays solid defense.</p> According to mlbtr the Indians DFA’d Jason Michaels instead of Andy Marte.
