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.

Matinez desires to pitch in 2010
Now Pedro Martinez keeps his mind on pitching in 2010. Playing in former Red Sox teammate David Ortiz's charity golf tournament in Cap Cana last week, the right-hander made it clear his experience with the Phillies was a good one through the World Series. Martinez told the Associated Press that the Phillies treated him very well and they were very professional.
Martinez went 5-1 with a 3.63 ERA with the team with his phillies jersey and made three starts in the playoffs, including the Game 6 loss the Yankees. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told Martinez after the World Series that the Phillies have not closed the door on his return in 2010, but are focusing their efforts elsewhere. "More specifically, our need at third base and in our bullpen," Amaro said. "Those two areas are our priorities."
Martinez expressed his desire to pitch for the Licey Tigers in the Dominican Winter League in the interview with the AP. When he was unsigned by a Major League club last spring, Martinez pitched for the Dominican team in the World Baseball Classic. Martinez's agent Fernando Cuza said that Martinez intends to pitch the entire 2010 season after signing with the Phillies in July.

Valentine, Acta and Fryman will get interviews
According to a report in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Monday, Bobby Valentine, Manny Acta and Travis Fryman are among the finalists to be the next Indians manager, Valentine will get a second interview this week in Cleveland. Valentine has managed in the big leagues for 15 years and has a combined 1,117-1,072 record with the Rangers and Mets. His best season was in 2000, when he led the Mets to the World Series.
Acta managed the Nationals for two-plus seasons and compiled a 158-252 record. He was relieved of his duties in July of this year. Acta was interviewed by general manager Mark Shapiro and assistant general manager Chris Antonetti via the phone last week. "It is a very attractive situation, because they already have a good, young nucleus of players on the team and a very strong farm system. I believe that an exciting time is coming again to Cleveland." Acta wrote in an e-mail to MLB.com last week.
