Sort of surprised they gave up on Gomez, I thought they were higher on him. But I guess Brett Myers solves all of the pitching problems :lol:

They just didn't give up on him... they traded him.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians traded right-hander Jeanmar Gomez on Wednesday to Pittsburgh for outfielder Quincy Latimore. Gomez was designated for assignment on Jan. 2 to make room for right-hander Brett Myers on the 40-man roster.

General Manager Chris Antonetti said it still wasn't clear if Latimore, 23, will be invited to big-league camp.

The Indians have signed Ryan Raburn to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com (on Twitter). MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reported the CSE client was close to a deal with Cleveland earlier today.

Raburn, 31, projected to earn $2.1MM through the arbitration process. However, after a season that saw him post a .171/.226/.254 batting line in 222 plate appearances, that salary seemed excessive to the Tigers. Raburn averaged 15 home runs per season from 2009-11 and owns a career batting line of .256/.311/.430. He played second base and both corner outfield positions in 2012. The Braves and Marlins had interest in Raburn earlier in the offseason.

Guy was mediocre at a young age in his first stop in Cleveland, let's bring him back in his older age

The Indians announced that they signed outfielder Ben Francisco to a minor league contract that includes an invitation to MLB Spring Training. The team also confirmed the signing of utility player Ryan Raburn.

Francisco played for the Blue Jays, Astros and Rays in 2012. The 31-year-old began the year in Toronto and joined the Astros in a July trade before being dealt to Tampa Bay in August. He posted a .240/.285/.385 batting line with four home runs in 207 total plate appearances, playing both corner outfield positions.

The Yankees and Mets were among the other teams interested in the John Boggs & Associates client. Francisco, a right-handed hitter, has a career line of .252/.329/.414 against left-handed pitching.

The Tribe used to be my favorite pro spots team. Pure diehard. Counted down the days until pitchers and catchers reported. Now, I'm overwhelmed with apathy. Barely followed the offseason. Thanks, Shapironetti, for totally crushing my enthusiasm after years of fucking this franchise six ways from Sunday.
