In 1953 Al Rosen won the American League MVP. It was the second time the award went to a Cleveland Indian in five years (Lou Boudreau, 1948) and the third all-time (George Burns, 1926). Since then, no Indian has won an MVP. He certainly deserved the award that year as well. Al lead the league in runs scored, home runs, RBI as well as slugging percent. He took all the first place votes and beat out runner-up ...

January 10, 2012
Key Stats: Where did Asdrubal Cabrera come from? His 2011 was a surprise, but there have been greater "whaaa" moments. Cabrera was only 25 last year, so the fact that he hadn't displayed the numbers he had last year before was reasonable. He had stolen 17 bases in a season before and while the home run numbers were nothing new, he did hit 42 doubles two seasons ago...

Are the Cleveland Indians Interested in Carlos Pena?
Via Rant Sports

January 12, 2012
According to MLB.com, the Cleveland Indians have expressed major interest in slugging first basemen Carlos Pena. Pena is already making 5 million in 2012 from the Chicago Cubs, so it might be smart to offer him a 1 year deal around 6-7 million. That would be a base of 12 million for the year, and easily doable for any team looking to add some pop.

Per The Plain Dealer’s Paul Hoynes, the Cleveland Indians front office feels that veteran slugger Carlos Pena could be the answer to their gaping hole at first base. The only issue, which has historically been a big one, is the ownership team’s willingness to provide the funds to acquire a non-basement-level free agent.
Hoynes states that Chris Antonetti and Company...
