How many here would rather have the Meija trade back?

Goody
Edwards
Olson
Otero
Ramirez
Taylor

Think I read Indians and Oliver Perez were both interested in him coming back. So I’d expect him to re-sign.

Would have thrown Brian Dozier $9 million for a year in an absolute heartbeat.
It's pretty apparent that this offseason's number one priority was slashing payroll and that they're not going to be investing the money saved back into the roster.
The fact that they passed on a right handed bat that would instantly be in the lineup's top 4 because $9 million was too much of a commitment is excruciating.
Dozier was a 1.0 WAR player whose OPS dipped below .700 last year and now we're going to overrate him as a "Top 4" hitter because the Indians didn't sign him.
"Scourge of Society" Jason Kipnis:
.230/.315/.389
18 HR
10.0% BB
18.6% K
2.1 fWAR
"Top 4 hitter" Brian Dozier:
.215/.305/.391
21 HR
11.1% BB
20.4% K
0.8 fWAR
