The Indians have signed nine more players from their 40-man roster to one-year contracts for 2009. It leaves 14 players unsigned. Signing Sunday were Josh Barfield, Shin-Soo Choo, Aaron Laffey, John Meloan, Adam Miller, Anthony Reyes, Tony Sipp, Jeremy Sowers and Wyatt Toregas. The only two players from that group pretty much assured of having spots on the opening-day team are Choo and Reyes.

Paul Hoynes of the Clevelend Plain Dealer reports that the Indians have signed 16-year old catching prospect Martin Cervenka to a non-drafted free agent minor league contract.
Cervenka will stay with his club team in the Czech Republic in 2009 and will spend the next two summers at the MLB's baseball academy in Australia.
This report from CBSSports.com discusses the increasing number of major league teams who are actively scouting in Europe, which Cleveland's assistant GM John Mirabelli calls, "the new frontier for baseball."
