With the 2011 World Series now over, it's time to focus on the 2012 season. Use this thread to talk about anything regarding the 2012 Cleveland Indians!
Albert Pujols would be a decent pickup.
Cuddyer would be nice too.
I'd like Willingham especially now that Brantley is most likely going to be moved to center. That's not something I especially support but he's our best everyday option at this point.
Kind of surprised Sizemore's deal hasn't been announced yet... I was listening to The Fan yesterday and they had someone close with the organization who was saying the deal was done they were just waiting to announce it. The deal is rumored to be worth $1 to $3 million and could be worth up to $7 to $9 million after incentives such as games played. Hard to hate this deal.

I still would like Fukudome to resign with the Tribe if the price is right. He was solid in his couple months in Cleveland and you can never expect Sizemore to play near 162 games. Also, Choo had injury problems so a decent veteran in the OF for cheap would be a good idea.
I read a comment/question posted on MLB.com asking a writer from the site if they would go after CJ Wilson and move Masterson to the bullpen. This is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a while. The Indians are one of the few teams who have their 2012 rotation set. Going after another SP just won't happen and would be a waste of money. Hell picking up Carmona's option for $7 million to be a #5 starter and have an ERA over 5.00 was a waste of money.
How could adding CJ Wilson be a waste of money? It's not like the Tribe staff is a world beater. They have like three solid pitchers and a couple scrubs.
I'd be willing to part with Matt LaPorta for this. Maybe throw in Hafner if LA is lucky.Sign Pujols and trade for Matt Kemp. Problem solved
