Indians Not Interested In Felipe Lopez

Since the Indians missed out on Hudson, do you think they'll take a shot at Felipe Lopez? To me, he's a better fit than Hudson was. Lopez can provide above-average defense at second and third and adequate defense in the outfield corners, with an above-average bat. He's so much more versatile than Hudson, is younger, and could come at a cheaper price.

As far as offense is concerned, Lopez would make sense for the Tribe as a right-handed bat that can complement Valbuena at second, in addition to helping out at third base and the outfield. But the Indians are anything but enamored with Lopez's defensive capabilities and won't be pursuing him.
