Buh Bye...

WINTER HAVEN, Fla. — Danys Baez and Jake Westbrook, right-handers the Cleveland Indians hope will someday be in their rotation, were among eight players cut from the major league roster Tuesday. Both were optioned to Triple-A Buffalo as manager Charlie Manuel trimmed the roster to 41. Outfielders Terrell Lowery and Mark Budzinski, infielders Jason Hardtke and Ralph Milliard, catcher Victor Martinez and left-handed pitcher Eric Gunderson also were reassigned to the minor league camp. Baez, signed to a four-year, $14.5 million contract a year ago after defecting from Cuba, had a 6.43 ERA in three exhibition appearances, walking seven and allowed nine hits in seven innings. Westbrook, 23, had a 4.50 ERA in six innings over three appearances.
