Shouldn't Load Up on Veterans If Elmer Jacobs Traded
If Elmer Jacobs goes to Los Angeles the Indians should not unload many veterans. Jacobs is one of the league's best right handers and would boost a winning club. Art Griggs could contribute for a couple of seasons and his bat would drive in runs, but trading Doc Crandall too would be excessive. The Indians need young blood and younger players.
