***Official Cleveland Indians Offseason Thread***

[ADLinden]

On clevelandindians.com today there is a rumor about the Indians trying to shop for Jason Bay. I hope this somehow is true, this would greatly improve our team with a big bat in LF next year.

Why did Jason Bay suck this year?

I hope we are buying low here.

From Joe Sheehan's recent "Fact or Fluke" (based on PECOTA projections) blog:

"Jason Bay: It’s easy to say “injuries,” but man, 40 walks and 15 bombs is a huge drop. Nevertheless… Fluke."

God I hope so. I think Jason Bay is great, but I remember Nate saying some bad stuff about him in Unfiltered.

said in the article possibly Crowe and Lofgren for Bay, meh i dunno, i really like crowe though

[kyleb]

Ugh. That sounds like a lot for a guy who might have serious problems.

EDIT: That being said, it's gotta be worth a shot. Neither Crowe nor Lofgren project to be high-impact players, rather they are just league-ready average players. Jason Bay could be the help we need in the middle of the lineup. God, an outfield of Bay/Sizemore/Gutierrez would be so nasty.
