Player Profile #139: Ubaldo Jimenez | SP | CLE
What the hell happened to Ubaldo Jimenez last year? He posted a career-high 4.68 ERA and went 6-9 before the Rockies dealt him to Cleveland. That’s right, the Rockies dealt their ace, whom they had under team control through 2014. Despite pitching fairly consistently the last three seasons (in terms of K’s, BB’s and GB%) his ERA has fluctuated from 2.88 to...

Rockies don't hold the aces in 2012 with Jimenez gone and De La Rosa hurt
Anchored by ace Ubaldo Jimenez and stoked by the bright promise of lefty Jorge De La Rosa, the Rockies were the preseason toast of baseball. A promising, perhaps even excellent rotation, made a National League West title seem quite plausible.

Jimenez could be key to Indians rotation
It's clear the Indians are going to have to depend heavily on their pitching staff to carry the team in 2012. The Indians had one of the best bullpens in the majors last season, and they will be one of the few major league teams that will go to spring training with their starting rotation already set.
Barring injury, the Indians figure to open the season with a rotation of Justin...

Ubaldo Jimenez Player Projection No. 128
Key Stats: It isn't hard to paint a bleak picture of Ubaldo Jimenez's 2011 season. ERA up by 1.80. WHIP up by 0.25. Wins down 9. Strikeouts down 34. Innings down 33.1. Looking at it through this lens it is depressing. Combine the numbers with the hype element though and it makes Jimenez even worse. He was the guy that started the All-Star game in 2010. He was the headline...

Derek Lowe, Ubaldo Jimenez Make Great 1-2 Punch
There is a lot to get excited about for Cleveland Indians’ fans next season with the recent acquisition of Derek Lowe. Admittedly, Ubaldo Jimenez did not perform great last year, but he will feel a lot less pressure with Derek Lowe on the team.
If the two pitchers can stay healthy, they should give the Indians the top two pitchers in the American League Central. It...

The Cleveland Indians sent Ubaldo Jimenez out for his final start tonight against the Detroit Tigers and the Tigers showed two things to the Indians tonight. The first, the reason the Indians were able to pick up the show called ace Jimenez from Colorado and the second the reason why the Cleveland Indians didn’t win the American League central and the Tigers did.

Ubaldo Jimenez gets the start tonight for the Cleveland Indians. The Indians were swept in Texas this week dropping three in a row. Right now Jimenez and the Tribe must be playing for pride. The Indians pitching staff was hammered pretty good in Texas. The Indians pitchers gave up 26 runs over the past three days. Manny Acta has to be hoping that Jimenez can give him a good nights...

Will The Indians Get The Real Ubaldo Jimenez Today?
Ever since the Indians got Ublado Jimenez in a last minute deal with the Rockies, you just never know if the real Jimenez is going to show up on the mound. It almost seems like there are two Ubaldo’s. Each time he makes a start you have to wonder if Jimenez will have control of his fast ball. When he does, he throws a great game. Last time Jimenez had control like that he struck...

Offseason Spotlight: Mike Rayl and Matt Packer
Mike Rayl (Photo: IPI)I have to confess: I’m a sucker for left-handed pitchers.It has nothing to do with any great disdain for right-handed pitchers or any real reason whatsoever other than the fact I have always loved watching a baseball game when a lefty is thrown on the hill. With the game so right-handed dominated, it is like watching the game through a mirror as everything...

A look at the movement of arms
Ubaldo Jimenez (Photo: AP)In the past year we have seen a rash of pitchers with major upside traded with multiple years left of team control. This is either a changing of views or an anomaly. Since Zack Greinke was traded last offseason there have been five such pitchers of note traded. This could go up to six if you include Shawn Marcum, who I am leaving out because he does not...

Are We Being Overly Optimistic About the 2012 Indians?
The narrative du jour surrounding the Cleveland Indians is pretty straightforward. A young team that should be getting better. A durable pitching staff with at least two front-end arms. A bullpen built on young talent. A core of position players that seems poised to hit its prime. Even with the glaring hole at first base, it’s pretty easy to squint and see this team winning...

Coors Field and BABIP
This morning, the Rockies traded away Jason Hammel, a starter who has posted relatively high BABIPs over most of his career. While his .280 BABIP last year doesn’t look so bad, the distribution of when those hits came (.272 BABIP with bases empty, .291 BABIP with men on, .300 with RISP) – along with the .327 overall mark he posted in the prior two seasons – led...

Pressing Questions: The Cleveland Indians
When the Cleveland Indians acquired Ubaldo Jimenez at the deadline last season, they trailed Detroit by just a game and a half in the American League Central. It was an aggressive move, no doubt, as the Tribe sent four prospects to the Rockies, including highly regarded pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Alex White. But the team was within range of the Tigers, so they played to win the flag...

Jimenez Gives Up Only Two Hits As Tigers Down Tribe 4-2 Today
Ubaldo Jimenez came out today and looked UN-hittable. He was until the fourth inning. Jimenez only gave up two hits this afternoon, too bad one of them was a three run blast to The Detroit Tigers Martinez. Fister came into Cleveland and pitched another good game throwing 71% strikes today. The Indians really never got anything going today. Fukudome hit his second home run as an...

One of the more important things the Indians may have done, however, was introduce two top prospects in Jason Kipnis and Lonnie Chisenhall. Kipnis had an excellent...
