Kind of shocked Blanton hasn't been picked up. I thought he was smoke and mirrors as a reliever in KC but he looked pretty solid in LA as well.

Agreed. He's quietly been an effective reliever.

I think the issue with Wood is that he wants to start, no? If he were open to a bullpen role he'd have been off the market a long time ago.
He should go to a team like San Diego on a 1-year deal to establish himself as a starter. The team has a craptastic rotation and a pitcher-friendly park.

Bite the bullet and establish your market...

You gotta think someone can use Napoli as a DH/1B

Moss is off the board to the Royals at 2/12. They have their DH combo it looks like between Moss and Cuthbert.

Moss was just signed, no?

Napoli I thought resigned with the Indians

Scratch another one of the board....

Lefty reliever Boone Logan signs with the Indians

The Cleveland Indians on Thursday agreed to a contract with left-handed reliever Boone Logan, sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

Logan, 32, was 2-5 with a 3.69 ERA in 66 appearances for the Colorado Rockies last season. He held left-handed batters to a .142 batting average.

Logan joins a strong Cleveland bullpen that features closer Cody Allen and star setup man Andrew Miller.

He's a DH now. He was an awful fielder, his defense was a big reason the Indians lost game 7.

Not bad, I would've preferred Blevins for the money involved.

Plus pretty sure Blevins is a local kid.

Best off season ever for any GM under strict orders to not increase payroll.
Extend my guy Moustakas and I'll be on board. Certainly not quite the debacle I was initially anticipating all things considered. Ventura dying puts shit in the potato salad of the offseason.

God, I don't know what these FO types see in him at this point. Too much scout and not enough evaluator- can't hit dingers off of groundballs.

and his defense is pretty overrated. his range isn't good.
