Another $100 K for the new stadium fund.

I would think I would DH him rather that Luke Scott. He can play 1st and dabble at 3B. Use that Luke Scott/Jeff Keppinger money to get a SS that does not suck.

If I had to guess, his ceiling is probably Nelson Cruz and that would be a stretch. Probably a 4A player.

I wanna see Russ Canzler vs. Dan Runzler.

“It’s unclear whether the addition of Canzler will affect the Indians’ interest level in free agent first baseman Casey Kotchman.” Huh? They signed Kotchman yesterday!

Hard to imagine the IL MVP not being able to make the roster for the Rays, or them only obtaining $100K for him. That’s a pretty strong AAA slash line, even for a guy who’s 25 years old.

IMHO I see Canzler as a possible fit for the Indians at DH next season ( 2013 ), the Indians currently do not have any players that trend as a DH type for next season in their minor league system since Hafners contract runs out after this season and Canzler fits the bill plus he has 3 options left where as the only DH type guy currently on the roster that is also a DH type is Shelly Duncan and he is out of options so this move is a win win all the way around for the Indians plus Canzler could in a pinch play 1st / 3rd / LF & RF be it not very well but that is more than Hafner is able to do at the moment and I do not see Canzler being any worse in LF than Duncan is right now.
It would not surprise me at all if Duncan gets the Axe and Canzler is kept on and if Chisenhall wins the 3rd base job I also would not be shocked to see Hannahan cut or traded during Spring Training and Spils winning the utility job.
