Ok, Indians fan here. I can't believe this really is real, Gerut has killed himself in the majors. After his great rookie season, he changed his swing, and he drops his had when he swings. He can't get his bat to get into the zone soon enough, so he either slaps it to left, or will strike out, or will GIDP. On the other side, Gerut is one of the best fielders I've ever seen, and also has a GREAT arm. He can play any OF spot and can field it almost at gold glover level. The only problem he had when he was with the Indians is that "Golden Boy" Casey Blake was infront of him in the Depth Chart. He, for some reason, lost favor with Eric Wedge as well, though no one knew why. All in all, he is a very good 4th outfielder, but a below average everyday player. Just my $0.02
