The Indians are willing to trade either or both of Cliff Lee and/or Victor

Martinez.  However, according to the team, the price would be "staggering".



Well, maybe last year, at least for Lee.  He was 22-3, 2.54 ERA, 172-34 K-BB

ratio, 1.11 WHIP.  Talk about staggering!



This year, however, he is 4-7 so far, 3.39 ERA, 82-27 K-BB, 1.38 WHIP.  Decent

across the board, but certainly a comedown.  Although, to be fair, with stats

like his '08, a comedown was all but certain.  Only Yo-Han and the '90s Greg

Maddux in recent times could do such things every year.



As for Martinez, he was awful last year, but was injured much of it.  Through

today, However, he is 53-14-57-.308-.902.  Pretty good year, I must say, and he

can play first base and back up Wieters.



No way I'd pay "staggering", whtever that means.  But I think they should give

the Indians a call and discuss it.

Trade them back Guthrie.

O's don't have the depth to trade for either one of these guys but i would love

to have martinez.Bet the skanks wind up wth Lee and Hughues going back..I'm

sitting here wondering how Josh Hamilton got named a starter this year to the

allstar game.I'm also surprised that Adam Jones got selected over Sherill for

the O's.
