Two struggling offenses should click tonight behind two reliable hitters. Value plays: Asdrubal Cabrera – The Indians offense isn’t one to fear, but Zack Greinke has had no solution for the pesky 26-year-old shortstop in Cleveland. Cabrera is batting .484 against the righty with a 5:1 walk to strikeout ratio and nearly 27% of his hits [...]

The Cleveland Indians didn’t do much to improve the team before the trade deadline, what they did do, they did right. Brent Lillibridge is quickly becoming one of the Cleveland Indians rising stars. In the win against the Angels Brent Lillibridge 2 for 4 and was responsible for 3 of the Indians 6 runs. This guy can give the Cleveland Indians the lift they needed to get this team...

The way this Cleveland Indians roster is currently constructed, for them to win and/or be competitive is if their starting pitching keeps them in games. Pitching deep into those games is obviously a welcomed sight. Its as simple as that. This weekend, where the Tribe lost two of three to the Red Sox, the starters were all over the map.
On Friday night, Chris Seddon pitched surprisingly...

The Cleveland Indians Infielders weren’t very kind to Roberto Hernandez last night, a host of errors helped the Angels to score 5 runs in the second inning. It was some of the ugliest baseball the Indians have played all season, it was almost as the Cleveland Indians were replaced by a little league team. They were making bad throws that were so far off target the Angels could...

The enigma that is Ubaldo Jimenez had another rocky outing Tuesday night in the Cleveland Indians' 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Jimenez lasted just four innings and gave up eight runs. It's the fifth time in his last 21 starts that the right-hander has given up seven or more runs. Jimenez has struggled all year, but he has been particularly ineffective since the...

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Justin Masterson pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning and the Cleveland Indians bounced back from their most lopsided loss of the season to beat the sputtering Los Angeles Angels 6-2 Monday night in the opener of a 10-game road trip.
Brent Lillibridge homered off All-Star lefty C.J. Wilson (9-9), who dropped his fifth straight decision.

Choo, Brantley, Kipnis, Cabera, and Santana are the only position players that are fun to watch. Sometimes Masterson, and always C. Perez, Pestano, and Smith are fun to watch.
Kotchman, Duncan, Hannahan, Marson, Donald, and Lillibridge are not. Carrera might turn out to be. The departed Lopez, Damon, and several relief pitchers were not.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- One win isn't going to turn around a season, but let's just say this right now: The Angels needed this one.
Zack Greinke needed it, the struggling offense needed it, the team's uncertain hopes needed it. The season was beginning to fill with frustration, but now the Angels can regroup and maybe start to rebuild.
They got everything they haven'...

Unimportant Roster Update: The Indians traded J.C. Romero to the Baltimore Orioles after signing him recently to pitch for Columbus. He had signed a short term contract allowing him to request his release on Wednesday, but the Orioles decided they couldn't wait. In return, the Indians picked up Carlos Rojas, a career minor leaguer hitting .226 across AA and AAA so far this...

Roster Update
Josh Tomlin was placed on the disabled list today with right elbow inflammation. In his place, Roberto Hernandez will be called up for tomorrow's start. While this could be a phantom injury that was made up for a little roster flexibility, there is a good chance this is something much more serious. Tomlin has struggled all season in ways he never has before in...
