The Indians have signed 31-year old lefty swinging outfielder Fred Lewis to a minor league deal.  Lewis played in 81 games for the Reds last year and he was 42 for 183 (.230 avg, .638 OPS) with 20 runs scored, 3 homers, 19 RBIs and 2 stolen bases.  He has now played in 517 games in his first six years in the majors and he is 412 for 1,542 (.267 avg, .751 OPS) with 259 runs scored, 27 homers, 136 RBIs and 53 stolen bases.  Lewis will be a longshot to make the Indians out of spring training, but I still like the signing as the Tribe is going to have a lot of competition for outfield spots.
