Well, two of them. Remember, Sunday night games are Boz nights, where we learn if the Boz hits as well as he acts. A good pickup for the Tribe. Wil Cordero is almost as fragile as he is overpaid, and has missed significant portions of four of the last five years. Indians will have Butch Huskey available to be a nice platoon partner for Russ Branyan in an outfield corner.
Organizational insurance is never sexy, but it's never a bad idea either.
It will be interesting to see if locking up Todd Walker for this length of time has any impact on whether the Rockies submit to Neifi Perez's absurd demands for a multi-year deal. While Perez is one of the game's top defensive shortstops, his agent is making comparisons to Derek Jeter. I had no idea bilateral symmetry was a negotiating point, but there you have it. Walker should post a couple of seasons that will superficially make people think of Rod Carew with more power, so kudos to his agent for getting him the deal, and to Dan O'Dowd for only giving up Todd Sears to get him. Nitkowski might get to face Jim Thome a dozen times this year, and erase Jose Valentin a dozen more.
