Indians Add Mr Consistent

Nick "Consistancy" Swisher had been a valuable free agent signing by the New York Yankees back in 2009, posting at least 23 homers and 82 RBI during his 4 year there. After the 2012 season, Swisher had became a free agent and had been waiting for 2 whole months for this to happen, signing with a team. That team was the Cleveland Indians, who had posted mediocure numbers offensivley last season. There leading home run hitter was Carlos Santana with 18. This number was very dissapointing as the New York Yankees, who bashed a leauge-leading 245, had 6 players higher than Santana's 18! The Indians as a whole team offensivley couldn't muster anything as they finished in 9 different categories at least 22nd out of 30 MLB teams. With the need of adding a conistent hitter at the plate and losing there star outfielder Shin-Shoo Choo to the Reds, the Indians signed outfielder Nick Swisher. They signed Swisher to a 4 year, $56M contract, but the Tribe will lose a 2nd round draft pick as a compensation. Last season Swisher posted very underratted numbers as he bombed 24 homers and 93 RBI in 148 games. The addition of Swisher will help lead the Tribe back to its hitting ways.
