Cleveland Indians

The Indians made a trade with the Chicago Cubs to acquire infielder/outfielder Mark DeRosa. On paper the last three years have been successful for him. Last year he hit.285 with 21 HR and 87 RBI. He looks to be the Indians 3rd baseman for the upcoming season. Not to mention Eric Wedge believes he will be the #2 hitter in the lineup. The Indians gave up 3 pitching prospects in this deal, they are: They dealt pitchers Jeff Stevens, Chris Archer, and John Gaub. Jeff Stevens was a guy that had the most success at 25 years old he went 5-1 with AA Akron, and 0-3 with a 3.94 ERA with five saves in 19 games at Triple-A Buffalo. Chris Archer was 4-8 in 27 starts at Class A Lake County and Gaub was 1-1 in 34 games with the Captains.

Overall looks like the Indians got a good bat and defensive player that will help this team. What do you think? Whatelse do the Indians need to get to be better this upcoming season?
