Jason Kipnis (Photo: AP)The Indians acquisition of Casey Kotchman gives an answer (unsatisfactory to some) to the off-season-long question: Who’s on first?But what does this move spell out for the rest of the roster? Presumably, Kotchman will be given the chance to play 1B on an everyday basis and Matt LaPorta (proud owner of one remaining option) will be asked to compete in Columbus...

Casey Kotchman!
It’s no secret that the Indians have been disappointed in Matt LaPorta‘s production and development, and last they took a step towards replacing him at first base.
Casey Kotchman has been the butt of many jokes over the last few seasons, which tends to happen when you’re first baseman that produces just a .304 wOBA with a .125 SLG in nearly 1,500 plate appearances across...

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.

LaIndianfan: The poor Central Divisions, the not so poor Cleveland Indians, and the poor ones
Looking at major league baseball just before the start of Spring Training:
The National League East has strong Philadelphia, the competitive Braves, the improved Marlins, the upcoming and improved Nationals, and the poor Mets.
The NL Central lost Pujols and Fielder and there does not appear to be a super strong team in the division.
The NL West teams like the Rockies and Diamondbacks...

Indians Arguments: 2012 Starting Pitching
Joe: We have gathered here today to discuss the Cleveland Indians starting pitching staff. Who are these people, where did they come from, what are they doing here? To start who is the ace?
Mike: What a hanging curve ball of a question! It has to be Justin Masterson. He cut his HR/FB rate nearly in half at the same time his K/9 rate fell. Which meant that opposing batters weren...

Indians, Clippers Set Killer Bobblehead Slate for 2012
During the 2011 season, the Cleveland Indians bailed on bobblheads, claiming that attendance studies did not support the cost incurred by curating the sub-foot figurines. While a Mike Hargrove “Human Rain Delay” bobble saw the light of day, that would be it for what would ultimately be a fun year in Wahoo Country.
But for 2012, bobbleheads are back. And in a very...

Setting the Lines for the 2012 Indians
I like very much when people take firm and decisive stands on things. For example, “I don’t drink. It’s against my religion.” Or “I’m a vegetarian; it’s the only ethical stance to take.” Or “I believe that Gremlins are real and breeding in the sewers of Montreal.”
I bring this up not because I am one of these principled folks—only that I admire them. For...
