The ABJ reports that Juan Gonzalez will join the Indians Tuesday evening for the start of their series in Minnesota. Of course, how they get Gonzalez into the lineup and who gets shipped out to clear roster space remains to be seen. Aaron Boone makes the most sense, with a trip to the minors hopefully giving him time to discover his swing. The other option is Ryan Ludwick, but since he’s out of options he’d have to clear waivers first, and that’s not likely to happen.
Of course, regardless of who the choice is this time around, the player who survives Gonzalez’s return may very well not survive the return of Coco Crisp.
PLEASE send down Boone. I’d hate to lose Ludwick, especially if Juan Gone crashes and burns by getting injured again.
