Hanrahan As The PTBNL For Bradley?

Interesting speculation at CBS Sportsline that Joel Hanrahan will be the PTBNL in the Milton Bradley trade:
Joel Hanrahan, Las Vegas (Los Angeles): He's hardly an "unheralded" Triple-A pitcher, but Hanrahan's Fantasy value was expected to lie solely in keeper leagues this season. Nevertheless, he's already making last year's late-season struggles at Las Vegas a distant memory, with a 1-1 record and 3.48 ERA in four starts. Hanrahan remains stuck deep in the Dodger depth chart, likely behind Edwin Jackson, but he's worth monitoring in the coming weeks because some say he'll be sent to Cleveland as the player to be named later in the Milton Bradley trade. Hanrahan needs to lower walk rate (10 in 20 2/3 innings), but he would fill a need for the Indians' Triple-A team, which lacks much starting pitching help for the big club. He would be in a tougher situation to succeed with Cleveland, but he would also reach the majors quicker.
If so, I would posit that DePo might have overpaid; he's sending a guy who had a bad year because of injuries.
