Indians Sign RHP Tejeda to Minor-League Deal


Story

Signed RHP Robinson Tejeda to Minor-Leagu Contract with an Invitation to Spring Training

The Indians made an acquisition today, but it wasn't a corner bat. They signed relief pitcher Robinson Tejeda to a minor-league deal with an invite to Spring Training. The bullpen on paper looks to be the deepest position on the team, for the Indians not only will bring back six out of the seven relievers with forty appearances, the farm system is deepest in relief pitching. But Tejeda could help the team; before missing almost the entire 2011 season with a shoulder injury, he had a couple of decent seasons as a setup man with the Royals.

More depth for the team, always good

Does this mean we’re not signing Fielder?

Yes, unfortunately, it does.

Cecil’s not accepting a NRI?

by Harry Doyle on Jan 4, 2012 5:08 PM EST up reply actions  

Given the recent history of this team regarding the volatility of bullpen performance, I doubt they can bring in too many arms, especially on low risk minor league contracts.

by woodsmeister on Jan 3, 2012 9:59 PM EST reply actions  

Minor league contracts are zero risk

by Brick. on Jan 3, 2012 10:43 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

is this more set-up for trading Chris Perez or another bullpen arm for right-handed bat?

by Richi on Jan 3, 2012 10:22 PM EST reply actions  

Maybe, but probably not.

by ahowie on Jan 3, 2012 10:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Seeing lots of this line of thinking these days. Has an NRI ever been a prelude to dealing a regular?

by Brick. on Jan 3, 2012 10:45 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I definitely don’t see how this means we trade a regular, but I don’t see why it doesn’t increase ability to deal a AAA arm that another team might have interest in as a piece for a trade.

Matt LaPorta is the bane of my existence.

by USSChoo on Jan 3, 2012 11:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Signed Todd Hollandsworth, traded Coco Crisp?

by Jay on Jan 4, 2012 10:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Sure, pick the obvious one…

by Brick. on Jan 4, 2012 11:53 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I mean, it’s a bogus example, but it did happen. We traded for Jason Michaels simultaneous to trading away Crisp. Crisp was a starter, Hollandsworth clearly signed for depth.

by Jay on Jan 5, 2012 2:13 AM EST up reply actions  

i know, but i got a big kick out of imagining it that way. “now that we finally have Hollandsworth in the fold, it safely makes Crisp superfluous and we can go after Marte”

by Brick. on Jan 5, 2012 10:26 AM EST up reply actions  

Good, because that’s how I meant it.

by Jay on Jan 6, 2012 12:59 PM EST up reply actions  

They’re going to stockpile minor league relievers regardless.

by Jay on Jan 4, 2012 10:55 PM EST up reply actions  

who, in the off season, was a major league reliever.

by Brick. on Jan 5, 2012 2:59 PM EST up reply actions  

Glad I convinced you. Roster flexibility is a huge component of a depth bullpen arm’s value.

by Brick. on Jan 7, 2012 10:29 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

He had options. It kind of sucks that that wasn’t flexibility enough.
