I know Jay Bruce wants big money, but the Indians should do whatever they have to get him signed. The outfield has been done by committee for too long. They need a stable outfield with at least two full-time players out there. Having Bruce in right and Bradley Zimmer in center would be the best option. The Indians can platoon in left field all they want but stability is the key.

I know the money is way too much but I would like to see  J.D. Martinez here or Eric Hosmer. Either one of these guys would bring all the offense the team is lacking in getting back to another World Series. If both Santana and Bruce leave, that will make available some extra dollars to spend. I know I am dreaming a bit, but why not?

My new book has been sent off to my publisher. I believe it is the best of my trilogy of Indians baseball from the 1920 World Series up to World War II. It is about the beginning of night baseball in Cleveland, the emergence of a young Bob Feller and one of the most controversial events in baseball history, the Cry Babies of 1940.
