Kazmir grateful for one more shot

08:42 AM ET 12.25 | Last season, two-time All-Star Scott Kazmir was, for all intents and purposes, finished in Major League Baseball. [Kazmir] saw his once-promising pitching career appear to bottom out with [Sugar Land]. ... Now, Kazmir's getting another shot. The Indians ranked 29th out of 30 clubs last season in ERA (4.78), and new manager Terry Francona knows improved pitching is essential to have any chance of competing in the hitter-heavy American League. More than a year removed from taking the mound during a major league game, Kazmir is one good spring away from potentially returning to the Show. "I'm just looking for an opportunity," Kazmir said. "I don't feel like I deserve anything. I feel like I have to go out there and prove myself again. I really do."

the angels took a gamble with their right hanson, the injury-rash attach on hanson calendar would likely open doors for any free agent available,,,, joe sanders its lefty and still in the open market should halos bring sanders back to the halos rotation??? neither blaton/neither hanson can do the job as sanders,, KAZMIR would be the very last resord,,

pitching its always a nesecity rather than a luxury, should halos wrong through a thin and weak rotation thanks to their uknown availability from hanson and CJ WILSON???

as long KAZMIR has the ability to find his quality pitch and get the right feel in the ball the next step should be easy to figureout,,,

Super move by the Indians. This guy could come back and be a force. He's not even 30 yet! And if he doesn't work out, so what? No loss.
...the best policy

I don't think he'll ever be a force, but I agree that's a low risk signing for the Injuns.
THE BISHOP!

Unfortunately pretty much every signing by the Tribe is "low risk"!
