Indians to sign David Dellucci?

[British_Pharaoh]

not sure of the details

great corner OFer with power and a veteran

and he'll give Grady and JP competition for strikeout totals per season

[furls]

I hope this is a joke because he FUCKING SUCKS

no he doesnt he's probably the best thing left available in free agency in terms of OFers except maybe Drew

[furls]

His numbers are very "Jason Michaelsesque."

If your numbers can be compared to J-Mike, then you FUCKING SUCK.

Well, he has been around since 1997 and he is in his mid to early 30s, so there is always the chance that he could improve.

417 68 117 26 2 10 50 5 4 50 91 .282 .360 .422 176 1 5 1 4 5

Guess which line is Michaels avg per 162 games and which one is Dellucci's.

Another slow guy who strikes out alot, and you can't even justify him as a defensive upgrade. He had one good offensive season, and it was in that bandbox in Arlington.

Still waiting to see the #'s on the deal, but a misallocation of dollars IMO. I'd rather see Choo out there.

[dpdad]

I don't understand this signing, unless it is a prelude to some other moves coming. Is Choo being used as trade bait for something bigger?

[swerb]

Choo for bullpen help? Michaels for a bag of baseballs? Casey Blake as part of a Manny deal, or maybe Casey for bullpen help?

[furls]

seriously, couldnt we have just kept hollandsworth? Did we really need two jason Michaels'es? I dont even like the first one.

[ACrank]

i hate to ask, but do you have a source for this little announcement...

i mean i will even take "dwags" as a source

[consigliere]

Right now, this rumor is bunk.

Signing Delucci makes absolutely no sense unless we trade away a few outfielders in a serious deal for a closer or for Manny. Only then can I maybe understand it.

On its own, it is a horrible idea. Choo is just as good as Delucci in a platoon role with Michaels if they really wanted to do that. I like Delucci's power, but he doesn't fit a need for this team as it currently stands.

dwags said indians are still talking with Dellucci

[ACrank]

So its gone from signing him to still talking with him?

and the most reliable source you have is a poster on probably the worst Cleveland Indians msg board on the internet?
