Jason Stanford has had one of those careers that you wince at. He made the Indians in 2004 and after a couple of solid starts, he blew out his elbow and faced Tommy John surgery. Then he comes back last year and while he’s not horrible at Triple A, he didn’t light it up either. Now Stanford is 30 years old and he’s a non-roster invitee in the Indians camp.
Not only does Stanford have a lot riding on this spring, but the Indians will have to make a decision on him as well because he’ll become a minor league free agent after the end of 2007 season if the Indians don’t lock him up. For more info. on Stanford, this is a great profile on the pitcher at MLB.com.
