Preview: Indians Kickoff the Second Half With Bauer on the Hill As They Take on the Rangers

3. How About a Hand?

The Indians front office was super aggressive over the break in doing something to improve their MLB worst bullpen, and Thursday got themselves two relief pitchers in Brad Hand and Adam Cimber from the Padres.

It will be fun to watch what the two bring to the table starting tonight, and also the adjustment that each has to make now playing in the American League as opposed to the National League.

Hand is expected to get the bigger role coming from the Padres, where he was their close this season and an All-Star last season.

Look for Terry Francona to find situations for both to pitch in to be successful as they each get more comfortable with their new team in hopes of helping the Tribe put then pen woes to rest.
