The IBI's 2013 Indians Top 60 Prospect countdown continues on with right-handed pitcher Trey Haley. It has taken some time, but everything is starting to come together for Haley now that he is 100% healthy and his fastball command is improving. He has the best arm in the system and could still end up starting again, and Tony talks about his talented right arm, what it brings, what he can become, and what he needs to improve in this detailed scouting report.

MLB Rumor: Daisuke Matsuzaka unlikely to make Indians roster
This shouldn’t be too surprising to folks keeping up-to-date with all the latest Spring Training news, but it is worth emphasizing again: odds are that free agent Daisuke Matsuzaka won’t make the Indians’ final 25-man roster.
Matsuzaka, 32, has battled several injuries in the last few years. He notably had Tommy John surgery in June 2011, which kept him out of MLB action for...
2013 Indians Top 60 Prospects: #15 LHP Nick Hagadone
The IBI's 2013 Indians Top 60 Prospect countdown continues on with left-handed pitcher Nick Hagadone. Hagadone has all the goods to be a dominating presence at the backed of a Major League bullpen, and showed that up until his final three weeks of action last season when everything fell apart and he suffered a self-inflicted hand injury. The Indians need a power armed lefty...

2013 Indians Top 60 Prospects: #13 OF Luigi Rodriguez
The IBI's 2013 Indians Top 60 Prospect countdown continues on with outfielder Luigi Rodriguez. Defensively and offensively the Indians feel like Rodriguez has as much talent as anybody in the organization, it is just a matter of him putting it together to be more consistent as a player day by day rather than in streaks throughout the year. Tony discusses all the abilities he...
Former Indians Great Kenny Lofton To Be Left Off The Hall Of Fame Ballot
One of the most respected Cleveland Indians of all time, Kenny Lofton has gotten the shaft in the Hall Of Fame Ballot voting. Lofton who is arguably one of the best lead-off batters and center-fielder of all time didn’t receive enough votes to be included in next years hall of fame voting. What is wrong with this picture? Lofton had 2,428 hits for a lifetime .299 average in his...
Random Athlete Of The Day- Mark Grudzielanek
Over his fifteen year MLB career, Mark Grudzielanek played for six teams and served as a true veteran shortstop. Grudzielanek was just about everything you could ask for in your above average shortstop, hitting an average of .289 and playing solid defense. Expectations were high when Grudzielanek made his first all-star appearance in just his second season (with the Montreal Expos...
Carrasco goes 3 innings after being hit in head
Carlos Carrasco pitched three innings after being hit in the side of the head by a comebacker in the first, Mark Reynolds and Nick Swisher each homered to help the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 13-5 Monday.
Carrasco was hit on the side of the head by Darnell McDonald's line drive. Carrasco went down on his knees and was tended to by trainers but stayed in the game...
Indians Outfield Defense: How Improved Will It Be?
I’m going to be honest with you: I have my misgivings about advanced defensive metrics—especially those that are publicly available to schmoes like you and me. 1 It’s not that I think the methodology behind these stats is flawed or that the approach itself is a silly one—it’s just that all these metrics seem a bit too reliant on two somewhat flimsy inputs.
First...
2013 Spring Training Game #12: Indians 13, Cubs 5
Overview
Now that’s more like it. The Cleveland Indians snapped a two-game losing streak and got back to their winning ways with a 13-5 victory against the Chicago Cubs in Mesa, Ariz. on Monday.
In all honesty, this may have been the most impressive outing by the Indians this season. While they did allow five runs in the contest, the pitching was better than the score indicates...
2013 Cleveland Indians Team Preview
So I was trying to start this preview off by harkening back to the last glory days of Cleveland in the mid 90′s so I searched for “Indians team picture 1997″, and this was one of the top results with no team picture in sight. I guess it is pretty fitting seeing as how this is a preview of a Cleveland sports team. Well the Indians never...

Closer Look
Chris Perez has been shut down for 3-4 weeks. The Indians are saying it's due to a shoulder strain. Seems pretty coincidental that Chris Perez rocks a mullet and there's a guy with a "business on top, party in the back" haircut on The Amazing Race this season. I'm calling BS. "Yeah, what's up?" Sorry, didn't mean to actually call BS. ...
