David Dellucci Designated For Assignment

According to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Indians designated outfielder David Dellucci for assignment.  The Indians will have to eat the remaining $2.8MM or so on his contract.

Dellucci, 35, hit .275/.333/.350 in 45 plate appearances for the Indians this year.  He was coming off a couple of strong seasons for the Rangers and Phillies when he signed a three-year, $11.5MM deal with the Indians in November of 2006.  However, the contract has been a flop.
