CLEVELAND (AP) - The Cleveland Indians finalized their one-year contract Wednesday with free agent Eduardo Perez, who could end up in a platoon at first base with Ben Broussard.
Perez, son of Hall of Famer Tony Perez, batted .255 with 11 homers and 28 RBIs last season for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. In 2004, he drove in 82 runs.
The 36-year-old will give Indians manager Eric Wedge a much needed right-handed hitter off the bench when Broussard plays. In his career against left-handers, Perez has batted .263 with 47 homers and 168 RBIs.
