3 Guys We'd Like To See The Indians Pursue: No. 3
WHO: Wandy Rodriguez (Houston Astros left-handed starter). WHY: The guy has a 1.99 ERA, hardly walks anyone (13 walks in 54 innings) and is only 3-3 because he gets little run support from his mediocre teammates. He's making a rather rotund $10 million this season - which, along with his age (33), might make Houston will...

WHO: Former Indians righthanded starter Carl Pavano, now with Minnesota. WHY: Yes, he's currently 2-3. Yes, Pavano has had some problems lately with a sore shoulder. But he's also a proven, fairly reliable starter who rarely gives up walks (6 in 49 innnings so far). And Pavano is pretty much guaranteed to give you 6...

Read more...Goedert is thriving in Akron
Jared Goedert can see the writing on the wall. After spending the past six seasons in the Indians’ farm system primarily as a third baseman, the 26-year-old Goedert transitioned to the outfield this past spring training. The move seemed to be a logical one. With Jack Hannahan entrenched as the Indians everyday third baseman an...

Who: Paul Maholm (Cubs left-handed starting pitcher). Why: He's pitching extremely well (4-2) for a Cubs team that won't be a contender this year. And while he's not known as a strikeout pitcher, he nearly has a 2:1 ratio of strikeouts (22) to walks (12). How He Would Help The Indians: Maholm is a solid, proven left-handed sta...

Read more...A Quick, Modest Proposal Regarding One Donovan McNabb
Does anyone ELSE out there like the idea of the Browns: a. trading away one current quarterback (Colt McCoy); b. dumping another current one (Seneca Wallace); c. signing veteran QB Donovan McNabb (who's available, lighter and drawing raves from his old coach); d. reuniting McNabb with Browns offensive coordinator Brad Child...

1. Rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden (pictured) will not only start Opening Week, he'll take every snap behind center during the 2012 season. 2. Veteran quarterback Colt McCoy won't be on the Browns' Opening Week roster. 3. Season stat line for running back and first-round pick Trent Richardson: 1,250 rushing yards. 4.0 yard...

Former Indians third baseman Casey Blake recently retired. He leaves after a 13-year career where he played in 1265 games and hit .264 with 167 homers, 616 RBI, and .778 OPS in his career. Not too bad for a minor league castoff that played in three different organizations before signing with the Indians prior to the 2003 si...

Read more...Some wild ideas for first base
Indians first baseman Casey Kotchman has played a little better of late, but his numbers are still nowhere close to respectable for an everyday player. He is a very sound defender and has saved the Indians many runs with his defense at first base, but he has just as easily cost the Indians several runs with the poor product...

Indians outfielder Grady Sizemore is nearing a return to the team. On Tuesday he worked out at Progressive Field and did some running and agility drills on the field, and then threw some long toss. It is the next step in his gradual progression in the recovery from a procedure to repair a herniated disk in his back on March...

Another start, another maddeningly, frustrating performance by right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. Dr. Jeckyll, meet Mr. Hyde. After a very encouraging start last Sunday against the vaunted Rangers where Jimenez went 7.0 shutout innings and allowed just two hits, walked five batters, and struck out six, he was back to his customary in...

Shin-Soo Choo. Is there a more polarizing figure on the Cleveland Indians right now? The right fielder’s 2012 season has not gotten off to the start that fans and the South Korean native had anticipated. In 24 games, the left handed hitter has compiled a .236/.358/.326 line to go along with one home run and 11 RBIs. Coming off ...

We are only a month into the season, but catcher Carlos Santana looks like he is finally back to the player he was when he first made his Major League debut in June of 2010. Santana, 26, had a solid season with the bat last year as he hit .239 with 27 homers, 79 RBI and .808 OPS in 155 games. But he really struggled defens...

1. Picking the Browns backup quarterback - whether it's Seneca Wallace (pictured) or Colt McCoy - should be based solely on who's the better QB. Period. It shouldn't be based on which one is more likely to be a better mentor for Brandon Weeden - the Browns' likely starting quarterback. We certainly don't need a repeat of seve...
