Money is more valuable to the Indians than these guys.

True, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying having a decent OFer to fill-in for Sizemore and Choo while they are on the DL is more valuable than money to the Indians.

 

How much can the Indians up their payroll? They may have been trying to keep from adding much payroll either because they're right against their cap or they plan on pursuing another player(s) who will cost money.

Right. Kosuke is a role player move, not an impact player. That team doesn't spend a lot and very well could be crunching the numbers in anticipation of an actual impact move before the deadline.

Hopefully they just needed another $750,000 to get Maples and Vogelbach signed.

It has been rumored that both have already signed, or atleast agreed to terms but that the deals won't be announced until the last minute because of their over slot status.

$750K seems more in the range of getting Zych or Scott done
