Tribe Ink Westbrook to 3 year - $33 million dollar contract

The Cleveland Indians wasted no time in signing soon to be (at season's end) FA, Jake Westbrook.

Westbrook is a very reliable starter in the league and given the prices of .500 pitchers such as Gil Meche (5 year, $55 million) and Ted Lilly (4 year, $40 million), this could prove to be a steal.

Westbrook has won 44 games the past three seasons. Since 2004, only Westbrook, Cleveland teammate Cliff Lee, Minnesota's Johan Santana and Tiger's Kenny Rogers have won at least 14 games in each season. Last year, Westbrook went 15-10, winning a major league-high eight games after August 1st.
