The Cleveland Indians added lefty reliever Colt Hynes on a minor league contract the other day, and I noted that he makes a nice depth addition for the Tribe. While the move may not be that flashy, he has pitched quite well in the minor leagues over the past few seasons, and he offers the Tribe another cheap left-handed relief option. The Indians have been cycling through these relievers, so perhaps he could receive a chance at the major league level as the season nears its close.
In other minor news, Joey Butler accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Columbus yesterday.
