Today the Indians placed Fausto Carmono on the restricted list. Is the the beginning of the end of Carmona in a Cleveland Indians uniform? Carmona has been a fixture in Cleveland since the Tribe signed the 17 year old who turns out to be 20 at the time of his signing. Carmona for some reason felt the need to lie. Did Carmona really think the Indians wouldn’t sign him if the...

Prince Fielder (Photo: AP)Well, with the signing of Prince Fielder the Detroit Tigers certainly sent a shot across the bow to the Cleveland Indians for the 2012 season and beyond. But in reality that is all it was, a warning shot.Yes, the Tigers are a major favorite to win the division now, but just ask the Boston Red Sox if throwing a bunch of money around in the offseason is any...
