CLEVELAND, Ohio -- What if Bradley Zimmer is the real thing?
I mean, the real thing right now, a guy ready to take over center field for the Cleveland Indians.
The next Grady Sizemore? In some ways, that is Zimmer.
In his prime, Sizemore hit for power, stole bases, played an excellent center field and struck out ... a lot.
That sounds like Zimmer.
From 2005-09, Sizemore averaged 25 HR, 26 stolen bases and hit .270. He was a three-time All-Star and won two Gold Gloves.
But injuries hit in 2010 when Sizemore was only 26.
