So far so good for the Tribe.... Masterson was a little rough but came out fine... Smith worked a perfect 7th... Would like some more runs though....

There's a good chance of one of them going Kevin Millwood/Carl Pavano this year. If that happens, we'll have a legit chance to contend and make a run in the playoffs. (Inserts Jim Mora's PLAYOFFS?...
Honestly, I'm not sure about prospects but their ML rotation isn't that great. I think the Yankees may miss the playoffs this year. I'm not against trading Stubbs. I just don't think the return will...

I don't disagree that trading him at his peak is the right time. I just don't think you'll ever get true value for a bullpen guy not even mentioning one that hasn't closed yet. If we're going to...
The video of Tito on Indians.com talking about what Giambi brings to the table highly suggests that he's likely to make the team. He talked about his veteran presence and him being interviewed for a...
RT @RuiterWrongFAN #Indians say one day season tix sales reached totals equal to an average offseason month
Fans just won't buy in.... Oh wait....
I think Giambi making the team is certainly possible. Despite only 87, 64, and 60 games in the last three years, he has posted OBP's of .378, .355, and .372. Compare that to say Mark Reynolds who...
Yeah I'm not from the area but I plan to go up to quite a few this year. As much as I can within reason for a 4-5 hour drive.
The best part about signing Bourn is it takes some pressure off...
Yeah I can't see us signing Lohse too unless we traded say Chris Perez and 7 million dollar salary away. Although signing him with the intention of us contending or trading him for prospects given...
I would be okay if we got a Pitcher back in return but I honestly don't see Stubbs bringing anyone back that would be worth trading him. He only makes 2.8 million. Provides great defense and hit well...
Unless someone blew the Indians away with an offer, Brantley will be starting LF and probably batting 6th or 7th. I don't think they'll trade Stubbs. Stubbs starting in RF with Swisher at 1B should...
Bourn would be perfect addition to this team. You can use the depth to protect Stubbs. Stubbs hits Lefties significantly better Righties but you can play Swisher at 1B or DH to give them all a break....
I would say the more likely or preferred scenario would be to take less than we would normally take for Chris Perez since the bullpen is our strength and use the 7.3 million to sign Bourn or Lohse...
Dude.... This team may not make the playoffs because of how good the Tigers are right now but this is the most promising team since 2007.... There's no small market excuse... There's a small market...
That's all great news. Would be nice if the season is going well and Carrasco is pitching well to give him like an extended All Star break in the middle so he would be available for the playoffs if...
I wouldn't mind seeing him brought in on a minor league deal. I don't think he'd be a distraction at all.

#Indians have some interest in Ryan Raburn, source says. If he...
Yeah if CA could get it done before Spring Training it'd be the best option. CA would definitely be Executive of the Year (Offseason Edition anyways)
I'd find out what in addition to players we had in our system it would take the get Morse then try to get a MLB Ready SP and something we could combine with something we have to get Morse. It's...
If the deal for Asdrubal brings back talent and we are able to trade someone for a guy like Morse as well. You do it....It's a no brainer.... You downgrade slightly with Aviles but upgrade...
I think Delmon Young would be an excellent addition to the lineup.... Especially if its one of those 1 year deals with an option for the 2nd.... He can repair his image and go back into FA coming off...
THIS....Gomez was simply out of options.... He's that fringe type player that we just run out of time with.... He deserves the right to go somewhere else and try to prove himself. We were losing him...
I'd take Marcum first but given Zambrano could probably be had with a 1 year deal and a club/mutual option for a second, I think I'd rather take Zambrano. Even with the headaches. Cleveland has been...
I was thinking Scott Podsednik might be a good cheap addition to this lineup in the DH/4th OF role. He only got 1 million last year. Hit .302 in 63 games for the Red Sox. Familiar with the AL...
