		<description><![CDATA[Point taken. But while I know his staying healthy wasn&#039;t/isn&#039;t likely, and even if healthy, the 2005-2008 version of Sizemore isn&#039;t coming back, I don&#039;t think there were many options for a 1-year, $5M contract that provided more potential reward. They rolled the dice, it doesn&#039;t look likely to pay off at the moment. I don&#039;t think that makes it a colossal blunder.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You point out that the team could only compete this season if “everything went perfect,” but also criticize the front office for re-signing someone who was one of the five best players in baseball in 2008. Isn’t that the kind of relatively small-cost risk a team like the Indians should be taking?

Luke the key to that statement is 2008, that was 4 long years, and 2 or 3 knee surgeries ago......]]></description>
