04:28 AM ET 11.21 | The Indians are among teams interested in star free-agent second Orlando Hudson, SI.com has learned. The Mets and Yankees are among other teams to have shown interest in Hudson, who is said to be seeking $50 million over five years. The Diamondbacks people loved him but aren't in the derby due to the pricetag. The Dodgers are another team that may investigate the second-base market but they have several other more pressing positions to deal with now. The Mets might want to move Luis Castillo before making a serious run at Hudson, while the Yankees might have to consider some rejiggering as well, since they currently have the talented Robinson Cano at second base. While they could consider moving Cano to first base, the more likely scenario would be to trade Cano, either for a centerfielder (how about David DeJesus, who may be expendable now that the Royals have Coco Crisp) or a pitcher.

Cano is only making 3 mil, they are not getting this guy unless it means they have devised a whopper of a trade for an ace. Cash goes for minor upgrades and whopper deals. Not this.

Not sure what the fascination with hudson is......
good fielder- YES
but he gives you 0 stolen bases, has NEVER played a full season
and his on base % is decent- but not 10 mil worthy
and he's THIRTY

Slink you and I see eye to eye on a lot but I don't see this guy as being worth 10 mil a year for the next 5 years. We platooned at 2nd this year. Cabrera 114 games/6 HR's/47 RBI/4 SB/259 avg...Barfield 12 games/0 HR's/ 2 RBI/0 SB/182 avg...Carroll 113 games/1 HR/ 36 RBI/7 SB/277 avg. Granted not all these stats while starting at 2nd but lets look at Hudsons stats with ARI...107 games/8 HR's/41 RBI/4 SB/305 avg. Cleveland is pretty frugal on who they pay that kind of money too and I don't see this guy as being someone they would pay that much for when the benefits would be as minimal as they would be in looking at stats. I could be wrong but I think for 10 mil a year we could plug another hole that we could get more production from than grabbing this guy. Not to mention that other than Carol, Hudson would be the oldest IF we would have on the roster and give him a contract for 5 years!? We need a 3rd baseman before we need a 2nd baseman. That's just my opinion...whatcha think Slink?
