Indians Offer Nelson A Contract
According to Branson Wright of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Indians have offered Joe Nelson a contract. The contract's terms aren't yet known.
Nelson's agent confirmed that the righty is interested in playing for Cleveland, saying that the Indians are in his client's "fave four" teams.
Nelson, whose ERA was 2.00 last year in 54 innings with the Marlins, has had 19 teams interested in him.

Cool.
He can close if Wood gets hurt. And he's a great guy to go along with Jensen Lewis, et all. in the pen.

I wonder if the fact that he's been in the Red Sox system twice before would help or hurt them, as far as being among the chosen four.

I'd doubt that it would affect things much. We saw the Twins go after Casey Blake for a while even though they'd released him twice.

It could help things a bit though being familiar with the organization a bit.
I'd be surprised if he would go to Cleveland. Seems like his chances for save opps would be much greater elsewhere.

Good for the Indians. Their bullpen sucked but they're clearly working on it with Wood and hopefully Nelson.

Still, he pitched a lot of innings last year....
