Carmona's arrest leaves hole in rotation
The Indians are faced with a potential hole in their starting rotation in the wake of Fausto Carmona's arrest for identity theft on Jan. 19 in the Dominican Republic.
Carmona's arrest made his availability for the start of spring training, and perhaps for the start of the regular season, very questionable.
Before Carmona's arrest, the Indians appeared to be in a position...
Can Kevin Slowey Replace “Fausto Carmona”?
Other than noting the unfortunate nature of the whole story, I don’t have much to say about the pitcher formerly known as Fausto. From what I can gather, it sounds like he’s not going to make it to Spring Training. Which, I believe, means he’ll be put on the “restricted” list, a form of MLB purgatory wherein you do not receive a paycheck. It’s mostly a sad story...

Younger Is Not Always Better In The Dominican
Age falsification continues to be a thorn in Major League Baseball’s collective side. Cleveland Indians’ right-hander Fausto Carmona was taken into custody in the Dominican Republic last week for using a false identity. Reports state that he is 31-years-old (three years older than advertised) and that his real name is Roberto Hernandez Heredia.
This latest arrest not only...
Former Indian Omar Vizquel Signs Deal With Toronto At Age 45
Cleveland’s favorite shortstop Omar Vizquel will try to for one more season in the sun. If he makes the Blue Jays team, it will be his 24th season in the big leagues. The Jays will be his 6th team, including the Mariners, Indians, Giants, Rangers and White Sox.
Omar responded to a tweet from a fan who said they were a little sad that Omar didn’t come to Cleveland. Omar...
Indians Sign Julio Lugo
The Indians have signed Julio Lugo to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, reports Dionisio Soldevila of the AP (on Twitter). He's an ACES client.
Lugo, 36, spent last season with the Braves, signing a minor league deal in May and getting released in September. In between, he hit .231/.286/.365 in 58 minor league plate appearances and .136/.208/.136...
Did Rockies outsmart Twins in Kevin Slowey trade?

Carmona points out an MLB inequity
Goodbye Fausto! Hello Roberto!
As reported last week, 28-year-old Fausto Carmona is Roberto Hernandez Heredia and perhaps 31 years old.
There are implications here for Carmona-Heredia, for the Indians and, most importantly, for professional baseball and the uneven way it deals with international players.
Since being released on bail, The Sinkerballer Formally Known as Fausto has...
The Colorado Rockies deal Kevin Slowey to the Indians
The Rockies have sent 27-year old righty starting pitcher Kevin Slowey to the Cleveland Indians for 24-year old righty reliever Zach Putnam. Slowey was acquired earlier this winter in a deal with the Twins, so he didn’t get a chance to pitch for the Rockies. Putnam pitched in 8 games (0 starts) for the Indians last year (his first taste of the majors) and he was 1-1 with...
Give new Tribe starter Kevin Slowey a chance with change of scenery - Comment of the Day
"The Twins went 0-14 in Slowey's 8 losses and 6 relief appearances. But before last year, Slowey was a pretty decent pitcher for several years. The guy may have been a clubhouse problem last year, but a team going 0-14 whenever he was on the mound might have led the guy to a breakdown, otherwise it would mean he did not care. Plus, the Twins were missing their regular outfielders...
