    I’ll bet most of them end up in spring training with the Indians next year.

      And several of them will win sizeable parts on the team.

      I am not going to lie. I thought the same thing about Scott Richmond. But, that was after thinking, why would he leave an organization (Blue Jays) that had one of the worst pitching records in major league baseball. I guess Indians not having the same level of prospects differentiates the two situations.

    Board Member 1: I’ve never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.
    Charlie Donovan: Most of these guys never had a prime.

      He got 3m out of Boston last year w/an option as recall that Boston declined (wisely) and ended up with just a MiLB deal with ST invite to Cleveland.

      he looked like toaster streudal with Boston even.

    many of the players named here in this article will not be playing baseball in 2013. some of the names i recognize. they just could not cut the mustard in the major leagues. it would seem the best thing for them is to become coaches or some type of instructors in baseball or just flat out retire.
