Kelly strikes out a lot and draws few walks. He's only 25, so maybe there is time for him to become the next Rick Cerone?

He's no Sandy Alomar but you're right a Rick Cerone which would still be nice.
To me, it sounds like the Tribe maybe able to use him as C and turn Victor into the needed 1B. That would prolong Victor's career by a couple of years easily (saves the knees and wear and tear caused by the position). And Victor maybe more offensively productive.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like Shoppach might be the true gem of the trade or the biggest bust.
