While watching the Tribe play the Baltimore Orioles last night, Indians GM Chris Antonetti visited the booth with Rick Manning and Matt Underwood for an inning. The broadcasters asked the right question. Will there be any moves before the trade deadline by Cleveland? Well of course we got the usual “we’re exploring possibilities” crap but Antonetti’s attitude was all about “fixing from within the organization” TRANSLATION: The Tribe will spend ZERO on acquisitions this year! I think I know why. Two reasons. 1. They actually think that will work and 2. They don’t want to look dumb like last year with trading good players for Ubaldo Jiminez. (However that may still work)
Fixing our troubles from within will require a RH bat for left field and/or first base. If Grady ever returns he’ll play center and Bradley to left but Grady is another lefty! If it’s going to be Matt LaPorta then why not now? Send that worthless Shelley Duncan packing! And what about Johnny Damon? He’s a great guy ...

But the Indians bounced back nicely to take 3 out of 4 at Baltimore, and outscored the O’s 33-17. The Indians...
