@Go back to fantasy baseball: Thanks for the comment. You say the key is how long the team goes with Donald and Nix if they aren’t producing. I’m of the camp that Donald and Nix are strictly utility players that are starting out of necessity. Yes, the Indians have a couple legitimate second base prospects (Kipnis, Phelps) with Kipnis having the higher ceiling but hasn’t played at Triple-A yet. As for third base, even if Chisenhall were ready (he’s not), the team wouldn’t call him up till after May in order to control his service time. I think if the Yankees were to offer this the Indians would have to seriously consider it.

@Chris Thanks for the comment. Don’t underestimate the value of Choo being under team control through 2013, unlike Lee who you’d only have till the end of the year, and then would have to spend an exorbitant amount of money to re-sign him. OR you could trade Montero and Hughes and land your right fielder for at least the next three years. Like I said, it’s high-risk/high reward.
