It’s that time of the year again, when fringe players are told whether they are going to be sent down or they get to stay with the team. On Tuesday, the Cleveland Indians optioned pitcher Jeremy Sowers and catcher Wyatt Toregas to the Columbus Clippers of the International League. The Tribe also assigned many players to the minor league camp. Included in those players are pitchers Greg Aquino and Kirk Saarloos, outfielders Michael Brantley and Matt LaPorta (acquired last year in the CC Sabathia trade) and infielder Michael Aubrey.
Sowers is probably the most prominent name on the above list as he has spent parts of the past three seasons with the Indians and at times showed enough promise to where many thought he would be a main stay in the Tribe rotation. His overall record in the majors is 12-19 and he has posted an overall ERA of 5.14. He impressed many scouts and fans alike with his performance during the 2006 season when he was first called up and he went 7-4 with a 3.57 ERA. ...

today the Indians made official what had been rumored around for about

final spot in the Cleveland rotation over the likes of Aaron Laffey,
Jeremy Sowers, Zach Jackson, and...

Cutting Corners: Indians seek an advantage on the base paths
Ok. So cutting corners may not have been the best expression to lead
off in the title line. It implies cheating or gaining an edge without
proper effort. But cutting corners is something that a runner is taught
to do when rounding bases. They are to “cut” the inside corner of the
bag and get a solid push off to keep in stride while making their move
to the next base.

David Dellucci keeps his job, for now
Ask any Indians fan this single question. Who should begin the 2009
