    This is a rather big risk for the Indians, but if he stays relatively healthy the Tribe could be a World Series contender like 2 years ago. However, with just a 2 year deal, the risk is not so much to break a mid-sized market team.

      I agree, we just don't kmow if the risk will outweigh the reward.  The Indians can contend with their offense and decent starting pitching but a lack of depth, especially in the bullpen, will doom this team.
