Listen to DJ he knows from what he speaks.
I seriously doubt Hernandez and Contreras will have the same year next year. They pitched above their heads.
Also by all means keep the team as is, the Indians will sign/trade for the bat they need and something tells me IF Dolan truly wants to keep any fanbase he'll resign Millwood. (Millwood has stated if Cle. gives him the years and the right $$$ he won't even listen to anyone else.... so he is Cle's to lose)
This offseason will show how badly Dolan wants the Tribe to win. If he goes after the holes (RH power hitter, an ace SP, a closer, and a veteran clutch hitter) and gets primo players and not an Alex Cora and so on then the ChiSux are doomed.
Cleveland has very few holes but they do have the few I described above and they can be easily filled.... by trade or F/A
A good cheap match maybe Piazza and play him at 1B. He has experience and in the A.L. may up his average and homers a bit..... however his character and leadership maybe in doubt and disruptive.
