Free agency is about to start.
What I do if I'm them:
- Resign Kazmir. Ubaldo is likely gone but Scott is 29, LH and his velocity is back.
- Sign Corey Hart. Good power.
- Sign Brian Wilson as closer. He's back.
- Try to trade ACab. To St. Louis?
Those moves along with what they have and we are in the playoff picture again.

They have to get a power bat to plug into the middle of that lineup. One bat makes the entire lineup better because guys will be hitting in their rightful spot.
Agree with the pitching moves.
I'd love to trade ACab, but what are you getting for him? I'm fine with Avilles starting at short and letting one of the young prospects ease into the position.
What are you doing at 3rd? Lonnie? No thanks

No thanks I don't know that St. Louis would do it but I'd try to get Lance Lynn for ACab. He'd take Ubaldo's spot. At 3B, yeah I guess Lonnie gets one last shot. |

1. Bourne (8)
2. Brantley (7)
3. ?
4. ?
5. Kipnis (4)
6. ?
7. A Cab (6)
8. Swisher (DH)
9. Yan (2)
I said this last year, the Indians roster is full of 5 through 9 hitters except for Bourne who is a good lead off guy. If they are going to compete they need a full batting order.
They have 3 very open position in the field that could produce solid #3 and #4 hitters - Right field, 1st base and 3rd base.
Can Swish and Santana play first? Sure but the Indians better get some power out in Right and at 3rd.

Corey Hart is the ideal power candidate diz. He is a high risk/reward type signing.
Swisher goes to RF with the signing. Santana is closer to a full time DH.

That's an awful lineup Diz. I'd look for a lineup like this with Santana being your DH and Can catching.
1. Borne
2. Brantley
3. Kipnis
4. TBD
5. Santana
6. Swisher
7. Yan
8. Lonnie
9. Avilles
I'm trading ACab for an arm if I can. Get me a power bat in RF and that's a damn good lineup.

I hate platoons. Combine that money and put it towards one better player.

When you have a chance to sign a guy who hit.220 in a hitters park, with no real power, loves slapping it right to the second baseman. Then plan to make him your everyday rf you just have to do it.
