Re: Sorry, Uncle
Stubbs to RF and Swisher to DH?

Re: Michael Bourn to the Indians
http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/blog/ey...l-with-indians
Michael Bourn agrees to four-year, $48M deal with Indians Free agent center fielder Michael Bourn has agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with the Cleveland Indians, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Heyman also reports there's a vesting option for a fifth year worth $12 million if Bourn reaches 550 plate appearances in 2016. The Indians pick fifth in the 2013 MLB draft, so their first-rounder is protected and they'll only lose a second-round pick for signing Bourn. If a team outside the top 10 in the draft signed Bourn, it would have lost its first-round selection. So this is a relative coup for the Indians. |

I've heard some optimism about the Indians. I don't see it. I think 70 to 75 wins tops.

Re: Sorry, Uncle
I think the Indians might be fun to watch at times, but I still don't think they're very good. Too many of their moves have been underwhelming. At least Bourn will be around long enough to help in the future.

Re: Michael Bourn to the Indians
Stubbs could still play a lot (if he produces) as Swisher can play 1B and Reynolds can DH.

Re: Michael Bourn to the Indians
That's going to be a good defensive outfield...

Re: Sorry, Uncle
Pretty reasonable contract for the Tribe.
