CLEVELAND -- Popular center fielder Grady Sizemore signed a six-year contract Wednesday with Cleveland, another step by the Indians of locking up young players with long-term deals.
The agreement includes a club option for the 2012 season.
Sizemore has played only one full season in the majors, but the 23-year-old outfielder did enough to impress the Indians. He batted .289 with 22 homers and 81 RBI in 158 games last season. He also scored 111 runs, had 22 steals and became the second Indians player to record 20 doubles, 10 triples, 20 homers and 20 steals in the same season. He was the only player in the majors to reach those numbers last season.
