Good job by the Cleveland Indians’ front office.
The Tribe’s decision-makers abandoned the team’s bizarre aversion to right-handed hitters, agreeing to contracts with veterans Mike Napoli and Rajai Davis.
Finally, the Indians may be using some common baseball sense in assembling their roster, instead of being so guided by a “sabermetrics” or “analytics” approach that has annually left them with a dearth of righty swingers.
Granted, both Napoli and Davis are in their mid-30s, but given the Indians’ budget constraints and considering their needs, the two additions likely meet the apex of what the team can do without dealing away some of its most precious commodity — starting pitching.
