The Red Sox designated left hander Javier Lopez for assignment Sunday, and I imagine the Indians will be one of the first teams to give him a call or put a claim on him. Lopez has been really bad in 2009, posting a 9.26 ERA in 11 2/3 innings, striking out 5 while walking 9. This may be a great reclamation project for the Tribe to go along with the impending addition of Luis Vizcaino. Maybe a change a scenery is all he needs. Lopez was a great match up lefty last year, posting a 2.43 ERA in 70 appearances. Javier could also just be another gas can to add to the fire. At this point, can he really be any worse than what they already have?
