Just How Far Gone is Ubaldo Jimenez?
A few weeks ago in one of my FanGraphs chats, I was asked who had a better chance of rediscovering his old self, between Scott Kazmir and Ubaldo Jimenez. I made the same sort of crack any one of us wouldāve made at the time, like how youād respond to the idea of Rich Harden or Nick Johnson staying healthy. Kazmir or Jimenez getting on track was practically unthinkable, or so...

Some of us even wrote an entire pieceĀ calling for his ousterĀ from the roster. But here is the thing. The options for the Indians in terms of starting pitchers are dwindling by the day. Even if they wanted...

Waving goodbye to Ubaldo Jimenez at the Corner of Carnegie and Ontario?
Ubaldo Jimenez has certainly become a lightning rod for the Cleveland Indians, and I'm trying to get away from the trees here at the Corner of Carnegie and Ontario.
You know the M.O. when you hear his name. We traded two high commodity prospects for him. He has lost velocity. He canāt throw a strike. His delivery is terrible. Heās much too passive on the mound. There...
Jimenez struggles in home opener, falls 11-6
CLEVELAND -- Ubaldo Jimenez did nothing in the Cleveland Indians home opener Monday to quell concerns about his consistency.
Jimenez followed his good first start in Toronto with a clunker in Cleveland.
Which has pretty much been the problem with him since he arrived in Cleveland.
The Indians, and the fans, do not know what pitcher will show up.
In his first start in the Indians...
