It has been a surprisingly and agonizingly cool Hot Stove season with many of the big-named free-agents still looking for their big paydays. Spring training is mere days away and most of the star players and teams still have no ideas where they are headed. The Indians are no exception; with their biggest addition of this deep frozen winter being Yonder Alonso and that didn’t exactly settle the fans expectations for a suitable replacement for the Philadelphia-bound Carlos Santana and Jay Bruce, who returned to the Mets.
Suffice to say, this little nugget from USA Today’s Bob Nightengale probably will do more to rile and anger than it will excite.
