Who are the Most Impressive Prospects in 2013?
When we go to any baseball game, we want to be entertained by the action. Sports is entertainment, after all.
What makes a day at the ballpark even more memorable, however, is when you come away from a game impressed by what you saw.
Players can impress with one standout tool, like a power hitter or a power pitcher. They can also impress with their well-rounded five-tool game. No...
2013 Indians Top 60 Prospects: #49 RHP Bryce Stowell
The IBI's 2013 Indians Top 60 Prospect countdown continues on with right-handed reliever Bryce Stowell. He followed up a strange 2011 season with a lost season last year as he struggled with injuries once again.

The series featured some interesting Grade B and C prospects who could possibly see time in the major leagues in the not-too-distant future.The notes below come from a small-sample size observation so they should be taken with a...
Sunday Tribe Notes: Indians Look to Avoid Another Sweep, Aeros Claim Eastern League Title Again
Isn’t it unbelievable to consider that the Cleveland Indians are 9-8 against the Detroit Tigers this season? Think of all of the things that had to go right for that to occur.
Yes, it kind of makes some sense when you hear that Detroit has won five of seven since the Indians’ latest six-week nose dive, but it’s still an unbelievable fact.
It means that even if the Tribe falls...

2011 Rule 5 Draft: Live Blog
I will be updating this posting with news and notes from today’s Rule 5 Draft, though I have to say in advance that I expect the updates to be minimal mostly because the Indians are not going to draft anyone (at least in the Major League phase) and it appears that there is only a low possibility anyone gets drafted.

I will only count the highest level though if they make eight starts or appear in ten games...
