OK, let's review. Our biggest threat to the Central Division last year was Detroit. Our co-playoff buddies were (a) the Yankees (b) the Red Sox and (c) the...

This is where the Indians lack of position player prospects is killing them. The only one of value high in the system is ACabrera and he ain't going anywhere. ...
It's interesting here watching the Santana sweepstakes unfold (pretty much like watching the Kevin Garnett sweepstakes). The more I watch it, and the more I...
All indications are Dontrelle Willis is in deep trouble. His K/BB has held up, but all the rest has been going down the drain. AT age 25 he's thrown over...
... Willis's K-rate has held up, but his walk rate and HR rate have increased. His overall hit rate has been pretty steady. I agree that he's a good DL...
... Another handicap is having a de-facto salary cap that is probably going to wind up $25-100M below the level where the other elite AL teams are living. It's...
... I doubt the Indians are refusing to move Adam Miller...rather, I suspect, the problem is that his trade value is pretty low, due to his numerous injuries....

The Post-Gazette is reporting that the Tribe and Pittsburgh are discussing a deal that would send Jason Bay and catcher Ronny Paulino to Cleveland for...
I guess that means Ben Francisco would slide into RF? I think I do this deal if I'm the Tribe. Jason Bay is a rising star. Last year was an off year but he...
What's the story with Bay? Was he injured last year. Like Hafner, he had a major fall-off in power, batting average, and walks. His defense fell way off too....
I disagree. There is nothing "rising" about Jason Bay. Back-to-back seasons better than 400/500 leave him pretty well-established. A move the AL might drop...
... I dunno about the"rising" part; Bay is 29. But if he rebounds to his 900 OPS career norm, he'd be a nice step up from whomever we'd otherwise have in left....
Kelly Shoppach probably deserves to start somewhere. Jason Bay will probably out-hit Gutierrez, who in the end can only be a starter if he plays in CF. Cliff...
... I will play the Semi-Ignorant Schmoe card here: I am certainly familiar with Jason Bay, and thought he was going to become a true force, but he's declined...
... I don't think Gut can get to a .900 OPS except in a career year. The only time he did it in the minors was 67 ABs in AA. Gutierrez surprised everybody...
For what it's worth (and they've been wrong before): *10:23 a.m., from Buster Olney *• Trade talks between the Indians and Pirates involving outfielder...
... It doesn't matter, because if Gutierrez is your starting RF, your odds of going to the playoffs are very slim. The only reason the Indians got away with...
... I don't know whether it would accomplish that. What I know is that Bay has the potential to be an excellent (i.e. .900+ OPS) corner OF, and that Gutierrez...
I'd do the bay deal. BF likely a FG replacement and Bay is worth the roll of the dice. I just think FG's severe platoon splits don't lend to a full time job....
A day after claiming Josh Wison, the Pirates continued their effort to corner the market in backup infielders by inking Chris Gomez. Too bad. He was a handy...
This is insanity. Absolutely, emphatic no if this is the actual trade. First of all, at first brush, to me, Jason Bay = Kelly Shoppach, straight up. Bay has...
... years ... 20?) Do we have enough data to produce a BrockX projection for FG? How about for Jason Bay? That might lend some more light on the situation....
