Last season, I was an unabashed supporter of the Indians bringing in Brandon Moss. The veteran slugger was coming off a three-year stretch in which he hit .254/.340/.504 while averaging 25 homers a season playing half his games at cavernous O.co Coliseum in Oakland. The move to Progressive Field, and the guarantee of an everyday job, made Moss, in my eyes, one of the best bets for cheap 30-homer power.
Moss was dreadful in half a season with the Indians before they shipped him to the Cardinals at the trade deadline.
