TEAMS: Cleveland Indians,  Kansas City Royals
Indians_vs_white_00d6
The Indians won the game tonight against the Kansas City Royals 4-3 in the series opener. The Cleveland Indians could wake up tomorrow morning in a three way tie for first place. The bad news is Shin-Soo Choo left the game with a hamstring injury. If Choo misses any kind of time in right field one has to wonder what the Indians are going to do to fill the outfield. The Tribe has been short on talent for the outfield since the opening day of spring training win Grady Sizemore reported to spring training with a lower back injury that required surgery. The question may become how fast can Johnny Damon get ready and can he make an impact for the Cleveland Indians at age 38? The Indians continue to see an impressive performance for a rejuvenated Jack Hannahan, Jack not only is making a great defensive effort his offense continues to deliver runs in clutch situations. The Indians have got to hope Choo doesn’t miss any major time in right field. Johnny Damon was in Arizona getting ready to...

Hits keep coming for Indians' Hannahan

Via Fox Sports Ohio  |  April 25, 2012
Sometimes it takes a player a long time to be in the right place at the right time, but that appears to be the case with Jack Hannahan. The veteran third baseman has seemingly found a home in Cleveland, and he's off to the best start of his career. Hannahan's two-run double Tuesday capped a three-run, fifth-inning rally that helped carry the Indians to a 4-3 win over Kansas...

Up is Down. Left is Right. Jack Hannahan is…Good?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  April 24, 2012
It’s easy to forget that Jack Hannahan is still a Major League Baseball player—at least in part—because of Gavin Floyd. Because until Floyd broke Jason Donald’s left hand with a high-and-tight fastball on March 6 of last year, Donald was slated to be the Indians’ bridge to Lonnie Chisenhall.  The best laid plans of Mark and Chris… Of course, even after Donald’s injury...

How The Indians Should Handle the Addition of Johnny Damon

Via Midwest Sports Fans  |  April 24, 2012

Is Jack Hannahan The Next Casey Blake?

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  April 25, 2012
The following piece is something that I never thought I would write. I also still to this day cannot understand the immense love for Casey Blake that the Indians fans and the organization itself had for this guy. Readers of this site know that I have been a Blake hater for years. But nevertheless, I saw and appreciated his value and there will be a point to all of this. GM Chris...

Jimenez's elevated pitch counts remain a concern for Indians

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  April 26, 2012

Jimenez pitched six innings, but he needed 113 pitches to do so, and he gave up a pair of two-run homers that gave Kansas City an early 4-0 lead. In...
