I'm watching Mike and Mike on ESPN Radio. They read the results of a poll SI took, asking players which manager they would least like to play for. Eric Wedge...
I am not at all a Wedge supporter at this point, but I think that poll shows that players don't like playing for losing teams, and Wedge has a badly losing...
... Just to show the infinitesimal credibility of this convoluted poll, 4 of the 5 managers listed in the "worst managers to play for" category, were also...

BC, Piniella finished as the least, Guillen was second least, LaRussa was third, and Wedge actually tied with Torre for fourth least. A bunch of winners top...
I don't think the poll is meaningless, because it tells us something about what the players think, and they know a lot more about what goes on then we do....
Over the years, my opinion on the different leadership styles is morale is priority #1. Create an environment where people want to show up, and they will...
http://castrovince.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/07/indians_trade_for_abreu.html I gotta say ... I was excited to get Meloan, who I thought would be a back-end...
I don't much care about the age of the relievers we're talking about here. At this point, Meloan has no value at all. He's done almost nothing remarkable the...
Mark Shapiro has announced that Eric Wedge and his coaching staff will remain in place for the remainder of the season. I think this was done because of the...
Un-freaking-believable. Two people in 2009 America have guaranteed jobs. One is Eric Wedge, and I forget who the other one is... Sent from my iPhone On Jul 5,...
The Indians, apparently, will not be satisfied until they've driven every last diehard fan (the only fans they've got left) away. It also appears it's the only...
Agreed. My interest in Tribe baseball has slowly dwindled to just checking the headlines at the PD every once in awhile and reading the occasional article on...
... I feel the same way. My general interest in baseball is less than what it once was, and there are many reasons why. My interest in the Tribe has waned as...
Makes you wonder what he means . . . it might be one of WHICH years? One of these is which his team underperforms drastically in the first half of the season...
... Aside from the wacky statement, did he actually think a few months ago that the Indians stood a decent chance at being competitive at this point? Last...
Herges had a 3.55 ERA, a .240 batting average allowed, and a 1.18 WHIP, and he's the guy the Indians DFA for Abreu? Who is the idiot that made that decision? ...
... Okay, well, yes and no. In May, Herges was outstanding. A revelation. He nearly saved the bullpen singlehandedly. He pitched 16 innings, struck out 14,...
Steve, I'm not fooling myself about Herges. My point was, that there are worse pitchers on the staff that rightfully should have gone first. Gosling? Abreu?...
It's hard to see why they wouldn't have just traded Herges for Abreu or in fact why the D-Rays wouldn't have done that . . . except that the D-Rays have...
Concur with Buff on this one. Herges lost whatever deal he made with the devil to rise like a phoenix in the Tribe pen. But lately, he's been just awful. ...
