Indians need a right-handed bat at least - Comment of the Day

"I say the most glaring need for an upgrade in the starting lineup is at first base. I like LaPorta, but we need a masher, and he just isn't one. Not yet anyway. Go get a right handed power bat to play first, add a veteran starter and maybe one or two veterans for the bench. Then this team is ready to contend well into October." - kading24
