Big grains of salt in the Wounds of Cleveland
If I’m understanding this correctly, the fantasy 2012 Indians have the following lineup:

2B Jason Kipnis
3B Kevin Youkilis (traded)
C Carlos Santana
DH Victor Martinez (signed to an extension)
LF Josh Willingham (signed)
RF Shin-Soo Choo
1B Allen Craig (traded for Asdrubal Cabrera) (really)
SS Jed Lowrie (traded for Chris Perez)
Rotation:
Clayton Kershaw (traded for CC Sabathia)
Adam Miller (stayed healthy and was awesome)
Chris Sale (drafted instead of Drew Pomeranz)
Felix Doubront (traded for Chris Perez)
...Someone else?
