“The notoriously cheap Dolan Family ownership …” Et tu, TD? They have never been “cheap” – see Hafner, Travis and Wood, Kerry. They have been cash-strapped for payroll (Fire Sale, ’09), they have been...

I’m with you but hey at least this way when they end up with Jason Bay they’ll have covered their bases. Plus it will take the “baseball/Indians” fans three months before they figure out Bay sucked.

Swisher would be a big help on this team. I would take Youkilis over Reynolds, as Tito would be enough to lure Youk here (not asking either to play 1B ‘everyday’- rather rotate between 1B and DH)....

Swisher has an OPS+ of 120 or better in 6 of the last 7 seasons. He should get much more than Victorino. If not, then we should be all over that deal.

Beltran got a two year deal solely because of his age. We can’t use that contract as a predictor for future deals. Everybody wants the Indians to sign free agents, but then when they see how much these...

Diminishing returns, my man. I don’t want to spend all that money on someone who is going to get worse every year. Spend it on someone who is going to get better every year (at lelast for a significant...

so you want to find a 26-27yo guy who is hitting the FA market with the chances of improving and get him for the same deal that Victorino just signed. given how MLB works, I do not see that happening...

I fully endorse this post. The big issue with this hypothetical signing is that it would take place within the context of a mini-flresale (which most of us expect to happen). Why balk at extending Choo...
