Says the man who just called a 32 year old journeyman .239 career hitter with 30 total career home runs a "man possessed" and indicated he was ready for a break out season.

holy hell, I know it's the internet, but how did you not pick up the sarcasm?

Shelley Duncan is garbage until he does what he did last September over a full year.

Well its official now that Jack "Leather Flashing" Hannahan will start at the hot corner for opening day, but I guess this wasn't shocking consider the optioning of Lonnie to AAA. Good for Jackie, I really like him alot, well mainly his glove, but if he can hit .250-.260 he wil be fine. But it is concerning to see Lonnie back in triple AAA. Looks like the Indians being in contention and forcing his early minor league exit may have hurt his development. Like I said before, this team goes as far as the development of him and kipnis go,

Indians Close To Acquiring Bobby Abreu
By Mark Polishuk [March 29 at 8:34pm CST]

The Indians and Angels are "on [the] verge" of a trade that would send Bobby Abreu to Cleveland, reports Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (via Twitter).

Holy crap! This thread actually now shows up when I search "Cleveland Indians" in tSF! You wouldn't think that would need to be something that is celebrated...

Anyway, Bastian reporting that Abreu talks have ended...much to the surprise of no one.

No work or class for me. Indians on the laptop and The Masters on TV. Living the life.

I have iss at 3. Unfortunately I have to attend but I will definitely be watching the game on my laptop.

I was born in Saginaw and raised in Lansing but my Dad was born and raised in Cleveland so essentially I was brainwashed. My Grandma and my Aunt still live there so I frequent Cleveland probably more than I do Detroit

"In case you haven't noticed, and judging by the attendance you haven't, the tribe have managed to win a few here and there are threatening to climb out of the cellar."

"Haywood's a convicted felon isn't he Monty? Uh, it doesn't really say that here. Well, he should be."

This year is a year where you get to stay "Spring Training doesn't matter."

I think HOynes tends to be a bit of an alarmist at times.

That said, I don't think we'll be very good this year. I can see 82 or 83 wins, but i'd be surprised with anything more than that.

If Pomeranz flourishes in Colorado and Ubaldo continues to suck, I will not be a happy camper.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I think the teams ceiling is 85 but I could easily see 70 wins. I think the over under is 74.5. I would take the over hard just because of all the injuries that occurred last year and we still managed 79 wins, but only time will tell.
