The Indians are apparently interested in Freddy Garcia. GM Mark Shapiro is always looking for depth and this inquiry is similar to when the Tribe were interested in Mark Mulder half way through the season. Pitching is always the key to a championship team, but this seems to be more of an Aaron Boone-type situation where they would sign Garcia to basically a 1 1/2 year deal. Maybe Shapiro is looking at every alternative just in case CC Sabathia decides to pitch elsewhere in 2009, and Paul Byrd is a free agent and getting up there in age. Probably management is just looking for an acquisition to help stimulate DH Travis Hafners' bat, since he loves the WWE and Freddy has an uncanny resemblance to "The Game Plan" star Dwayne Johnson.
