The Indians signed both pitchers Reyes and Miller to Minor League contracts on Sunday. And Reyes was given an invite to Major League Spring Training camp, though he will be in rehab mode after having reconstructive right elbow surgery in June. Reyes will not be ready to pitch in the Majors until midseason. If he can recover, he could be a rotation option for the Indians.
Reyes showed up in 67 career appearances in the big leagues with the Indians and Cardinals, including 52 starts. He was the winning pitcher in Game 1 of the 2006 World Series between the Cardinals and Tigers. Miller will be in Minor League camp rehabbing from the surgery on his right middle finger in the past two years. Hope to see them playing in the indians jerseys.

The Yankees win over the Phillies on the Halloween night was the most-watched World Series game on Saturday in these five years. Game 3 drew 15.4 million viewers, which is a 57-percent increase over last year's Game 3 between the Phillies and Rays. The last Saturday game which drew more viewers was Game 1 between the Red Sox and Cardinals in 2004.
Through three games, this year's World Series has averaged 17.9 million viewers, a 46-percent increase over the first three games last year and is the highest average since 2004. Guys, put on yankees jerseys and support them!

Phillies clinch home-field advantage in National League Division Series
The Phillies locked up home-field advantage in the National League Division Series, but they lost an opportunity for home field in the NL Championship Series. The Milwaukee Brewers beat the St.Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium in order to guarantee the Phillies the second-best record amongst NL division winners.
The Phillies, who have lost three consecutive games, can finish no better than 93-69. The Dodgers clinched the NL West on Saturday and will finish with no worse than a 94-68 record. The Phillies still could have home-field advantage in the NLCS, but only if the Cardinals beat the Dodgers in the NLDS.
