Thanks for the credit Steve. Love what you guys do at MLBTR.
As for the signing, even though the Indians bullpen is a bit crowded, none of the guys mentioned really seem to fit the role as well as Stammen would in the ‘pen. It takes a special mindset to accept a long-relief sort of role, but as you mentioned, before injury Stammen did it quite well in Washington.

If Stammen is recovered, he will be a fantastic addition to the Cleveland bullpen. Great minor league signing.

Yeah but you’re most likely gonna be able to get those long relief innings out of Otero as well. So it does crowd things a bit, but my guess is that’ll be a competition in camp. Otero vs. Stammen for the long role

Stammen is a good depth signing for the Indians. The Indians bullpen competition would be Stammen/Paulino/Otero/Detwiler for long-relief. Crockett/Soto/Gorzelanny/Thatcher for the 2 lefty spots. Manship should have to earn his spot in the pen over Adams/Armstrong /Chamberlain.
