Carroll to the DL, Graffanino added to roster

18

Jamey Carroll apparently broke a bone in his hand on a HBP on Saturday, so the Indians, with two spots spare on the 40-man, have added Tony Graffanino and basically wrecked all those Opening Day roster stories that already got filed. Carroll is eligible to return on April 20, but by that point, Indians may consider optioning Crowe or Barfield rather than losing Graffanino on the waiver wire. Graffanino, whom my wife likes to call Little Giraffe, primarily has played second base, but he also played 50 games at third over 2006-2007. He was injured for much of 2008 before coming back for a brief stint with Buffalo, covering all four infield spots. And obviously ... championship.
