Those of you who drafted Aaron Fultz as the sleeper lefty for you fantasy team, time to pull the plug.
The Tribe realized it was plug-pulling time today, telling the lefty reliever he would not make the 25-man roster.
They will either eat his $1.5 million salary or designate and...

One of the few things about being in Yankeeland is that the winters here aren't quiet as rough as in Cleveland, and seem to break a little earlier,
I don't think ever - in the 24 years I've lived here - have we had snow on Easter and we've got a nice, sunny 45-degrees...

Since this is my first post of the new year I thought I'd include a visual greeting from the heart of Yankeeland.There's not a heck of a lot going on with the Tribe these days, so I'm mostly posting to let you know I'm still alive and keeping an eye on things.I guess...

Hope you all had a merry.Time to check out what little is going on in baseball.Judging by some recent stories, it appears the odds of Johan Santana packing his bags for the Bronx are growing larger.The New York Times reported today the Twins appear to be cutting the asking price for...

Well the good news is that spring training will be starting next Friday.That would be GREAT news if I were heading down to Florida myself for six weeks, but as far as good news goes, I'll take it.It's been a mostly quiet off-season for the Tribe. I won't rehash the whole...

After months of reading and listening to rumors about Johan Santana and where he'll be playing this season, we finally know.At least we're pretty sure. If the Mets can reach a contract agreement with the lefty ace he will be headed for Queens.In exchange, the Twins will get...

It's been six days since my last post and if I don't post at least once a week I turn into a pumpkin. So here goes.With their addition of Miguel Cabrera, Edgar Renteria, Jacque Jones and Dontrelle Willis, the Tigers are seen by most scouts and team executives polled by the...

OK, that headline is a bit sarcastic and probably unfair.The bottom line is Indians GM Mark Shapiro didn't accomplish a whole lot this off-season, but - as he told the Plain Dealer today - it's not for lack of effort."Every single major guy that has been traded, with the...

UPDATE: Since first posting this item, definitive word on Silva's contract surfaced. He's making $48 million over four years, not $44 million, which further proves my point.-----The Tribe has seven guys to fit into five rotation spots, and for that Indians fans should be thankful...

So far sentiment seems to running against the renaming of Jacobs Field, which is no big surprise.Lots of good things happened at The Jake and folks find it hard to say goodbye to a good thing, quite naturally.Based on reaction on Cleveland.com the name change may present a bigger-than...

The names Brian Anderson and Bartolo Colon have been mentioned in the same sentence with the Tribe lately. Except for the disappearance of the name on the ballpark it's like the 90s all over again. Sort of. Problem is Anderson and Colon both have had serio...

There's no crying in baseball, or football for that matter. But there is a lot of whining, at least in Cleveland.The Browns came up short in their bid for the playoffs, and they did it all on their own - last week in Cincinnati. That is when the season was blown. So please save...

How did CC do in his second outing of the spring today?Let's just say he was on a 50-pitch limit for the day, pitched three innings in the game then went out to the bullpen to pitch the 22 pitches he didn't get to throw against the competition.In other words, three up-three...
