Cleveland Indians (official 2012 season)

Now we are doing something

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Indians continue to add arms for the bullpen. The club announced Tuesday that righthander Robinson Tejeda has signed a minor league contact and received a non-roster invitation to Major League spring training.

Tejeda, 29, has a 23-27 career mark in the Major Leagues with a 4.42 ERA in 186 games, including 53 starts over seven seasons with Philadelphia, Texas and Kansas City. In the last four seasons with Kansas City, he had a combined ERA of 3.57 in 123 games and his .167 (43-257, 4HR) average against in 2009 was the third lowest total in baseball among pitchers with at least 70 innings pitched. He had held right-handed batters to average of .221 in his career.

another big time signing


http://www.cantonrep.com/newsnow/x1312982007/Indians-sign-LHP-Chris-Seddon

CLEVELAND —
The Cleveland Indians have signed free agent left-hander Chris Seddon to a minor league contract.

Seddon will be in training camp with the Indians, who feel the 28-year-old can give their staff some added depth. Seddon, who has been a starter and reliever in the minors, is 93-88 in 266 career minor league games — 250 starts — since he was drafted by Tampa Bay in 2001.

He pitched out of the bullpen for Seattle in 2010, going 1-0 with a 5.64 ERA in 14 appearances. He spent all last season at Triple-A Tacoma, where he went 9-7 with a 6.27 ERA in 25 starts.

Seddon has also pitched for the Rays and Florida Marlins.

Someone please tell the Indians front office that we have enough pictures for Columbus, Akron, and the rest of the minor-league teams so they can quit signing them. Tell them to look for a right-handed power hitter or even just a right-handed hitter.

You might be on to the key stateedgery of the Tribe: good pictures rather than good pitchers! This guy is still available:
