In mentioning the possible Dan Haren trade, Buster Olney mentions the Indians as a sleeper pick.

The Royals have $25MM to burn, and whether or not it makes sense they're damn well going to spend it. The Indians refused to trade Adam Miller for Delmon Young. Paul Hoynes suggests the Tribe tried to push Cliff Lee for Young instead but Lee was too expensive..   Continue Reading
