Nixon, who has spent his entire pro baseball career with the Boston Red Sox organization and was popular with the teamÂ’s fans for his gritty playing style, was not offered arbitration by the team after spending eight years as its starting right fielder. In 982 career games, Nixon has a .278 batting average with 133 home runs and 523 RBIs. He hit .357 in BostonÂ’s four-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2004 World Series and delivered a key bases-clearing triple in Game 4.
Ok so I retyped all this on the computer so I could post this, My internet is still pretty much down, but should be up very soon I'm hoping..Anyways surprising sign here by the Indians as I didn't expect him or even hear anything of him coming to the Tribe. Another good batter to add to the Indians already great offense. (Note: Indians had the second best offense in runs per game last year in the MLB.)
Thoughts?

It's reportedly worth $3 million - not too bad for a veteran with a .278 average who will really help solidify the bench, assuming he backs up Casey Blake. He can also earn up to $2 million more in performance bonuses.
He won't back up Casey Blake, Casey Blake has already been training to move to first and take over Ryan Garko which I disagree with. Casey Blake has played 3B before also and I personally believe he should take that spot from Andy Marte instead...
Right now the starting line up is:
RF: Trot Nixon
CF: Grady Seizmore
LF: David Dullicci
1B: Casey Blake
2B: Josh Barfield
3B: Andy Marte
SS: Johnny Perlata
C: Victor Martinez...
Nice strong line-up, and should improve the defense along with offense, which was already one of the best in the league...should make them a good contender this year with the addition of the bullpen...

Being a Red Sox fan I was sad to see him leave as he seemed to come through for the Sox when they needed him. I guess when you are trying to build a championship team you have to part with the least productive. I think I might be a little less productive. I'll go to Cleveland for just $2 million and will accept no bonuses even if I deserve them.
All kidding aside I will watch his stats this year. I wish him luck.
