MLB Trade Rumors: Would You Trade Travis Hafner for A.J. Burnett?
I love Hot Stove talk. Pitchers and catchers report in less than two weeks and it appears as if the Indians are still looking to improve their roster. With Asdrubal Cabrera signing his one-year deal on Friday avoiding arbitration, the Tribe has everyone under contract for the 2012 season….and that’s it.
It’s now the worst kept secret in town, but the Tribe literally...

2012 DH Keeper Rankings
Our 2012 keeper rankings focus on leagues that must gage the value of players for at least the next 3-5 years.
C – 1B – 2B – 3B – SS – OF – DH – SP – CL
It’s not a very good list, but I case you have a DH spot to fill in your keeper league, here’s our rankings.
1. Jesus Montero, 22 – His value skyrockets if the M’s give him enough time behind the dish...

Final Fantasy First Base Rankings
Last week, we took a look at the final catcher rankings. This week, we’ll take a look at the final fifteen first base rankings. Of course, with fantasy baseball we have players that are eligible at multiple positions. I typically don’t play that game too much, so some guys here might be better fits elsewhere, but I trust that you can make your own master lists on your own.

Indians' Hafner must reach into his past
The 2012 season will be an important one for Travis Hafner, as it could be his last as a member of the Indians.
The 34-year-old designated hitter is entering the last year of a four-year 57 million contract. Hafner will make 13 million in 2012. The Indians hold a 13 million club option for 2013. The buyout on the option year is 2.75 million.
Hafner signed that contract in July...

Indians Season Offseason Review Part 1: Results
It’s been a couple months, but it’s time to look back on the Indians season and review how they did and by doing so, be able to figure out what this team can do in the future. Sometimes its nice to take a little while to let the results sink in. If you set your expectations in the first couple months in the season, this was a disappointment, but no one was predicting this...

Thome To Continue Playing….In Philadelphia
It happened over the weekend, so it didn’t get much publicity, but Tribe legend Jim Thome decided to continue his baseball career. Not surprisingly, he won’t be doing it in Cleveland. Instead, he did surprise a lot of people signing with another one of his former teams, the Philadelphia Phillies.
As you all know, Thome left the Indians for the “greener” pastures of Philadelphia...

Burning River Awards
Most Improved Player - Justin Masterson
The most improved player is supposed to be a sappy award given to some returning player coming off an injury or terrible season. There were plenty of candidates for that after 2010 (Fausto Carmona, Grady Sizemore, Travis Hafner, etc), but none of them really improved in 2011. Justin Masterson went from a borderline starter/reliever...

Season-ending Reflections on the Cleveland Indians
If Indians fans were asked prior to the start of the season how they would feel if their team finished just two games below .500, they would have probably said “ecstatic.”However, the trip the Tribe took to get to their final record of 80-82 was anything but expected. In a season in which they lead the division at one point by seven games and then were behind by 13 games just...

Laying the Groundwork for the Indians’ 2012 Payroll
We haven’t made much yet of Chris Antonetti’s proclamation last week that the Indians’ payroll would rise next season. In his own somewhat tautegorical phrasing:
Our payroll is going to go up next year. It’s going to increase. The specific level of which, I’m not exactly sure. A big part of that increase is going to be absorbed by the raises inherently due to the...

Just as the Indians got off to a hot start this year, keeping the Tigers’ potent offense off the board and scoring first. By the middle of the fourth inning, Cleveland had a 3-0 lead, and things were looking good...
