In today’s edition of Hey, Hoynsie!–Paul Hoynes was asked about the indecisiveness of the Cleveland Indians with Jerry Sands, as well as what to do with the struggling Nick Swisher. You can read more about it here, and the rest of today’s questions. But we’ll cover the Sands/Swisher question, as I have to disagree wit Hoynes on this.
First off, Sands cleared waivers after being designated for assignment for the second time this season. For as well as he’s hit in his time with the Indians this season (9-for-27, one home run and two doubles), no team has claimed him either time.
