and you know there’s another name that hits a similar OPS+ to these ones. he’s cheaper because he’s not been as healthy and doesn’t play a defensive position, but he’s a heck of alot better at the end...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! “Doesn’t play a defensive position” = doesn’t make sense

can’t hit the ball doesn’t make sense either but we have a bunch of those guys on the 25man 🙂

True. And I’ve been saying for months that it’s high time to get rid of all of them – and even some that can hit. Let’s get this firesale going!

fine by me. just keep Kipnis, Chisenhall, Santana, Brantley, Ubaldo/Masterson/Carrasco (don’t sell low), Pestano (keep Jon happy)

He’s not even a mediocre defensive OF-er. He takes Duncan-esque routes to the ball, and isn’t much quicker. Which is the primary concern about signing him. His defense may fall off a cliff pretty...

The Indians can only afford Youkilis OR Swisher, right? There is no chance that we are targeting and trying to land both of them? Adding Swisher and Youkilis together, and swapping Cabrera for a couple...

we can sign Youk for $9mil/season and Swisher for $11mil/season and still end up with a payroll well below last year’s. also, if we do trade Asdrubal for youth pitching, then it clears up more $$$

again, his H/R splits are nothing. he actually did alot of things better away from Yankee Stadium (from #s looks like he wasn’t just trying to crush the ball as badly – BBs up, SOs down, etc.). i’m not...

Francona must think he can fix Masterson and Jimenez. You get league average performances out of McAllister and Carrasco and just enough out of Kluber/Gomez/Huff at the back, and squint enough, you can...

And in 2011 his OPS was 60 points higher at home than on the road. Both samples are equally small. It doesn’t change the fact that he’s still a 120 OPS+ guy, but the fact of the matter is that offense...

Then I will be on board with those three moves taking place. Even if it means keeping Choo, seeing where the team is heading mid-season, and deciding at the deadline to deal him or not then. We were in...

I’d really like both Youk and Swish, because if Chiz plays third we’ll have some semi-obscene sounding radio calls by Tom Hamilton when a guy tries to stretch a double to a triple.

As I’ve said a bunch of times, no matter what bats we get, our biggest priority is improving our starting rotation. I’m really worried we’re not going to get anything done on that front.

Asdrubal and Choo potential trades are for that end. FA is for the bats, trade market is for the arms.

Unfortunately, the market for Asdrubal doesn’t seem that high. The Arizona GM doesn’t seem desperate to make the Bauer/Skaggs deal, and given the latest reports that the Indians were no longer part of...

i am under the impression that the only way the deal gets done is if it is part of the Justin Upton to Texas deal, which is contingent on them signing Greinke first. so, we’ll see how that plays out...
