Bullpen Move

Herges up, Perez down and Salas moved off of the 40-man.

No answer to the Sowers mystery either.

Well, it might be the house that Andy built, but I did visit the new Huntington Field yesterday and took a few photos of the stadium. Sorry, they are from my cell phone, so not quite as good as LLM's

There are some interesting spots in the stadium. The right field wall has a standing room section that has a bar like shelf running the entire length.

Left field has a couple party areas and a few gathering places in the build-out beyond the wall.

Should be fun to catch a few games there this summer and see how some of the young guys are advancing.

Lara Returning to Baseball

I'm not sure how interesting this is but for those who do not remember reports after his accident, most thought he would never pitch again. Its good to see him trying to catch on again.
Here is the team site link.

Lineup:

Cabrera
Dellucci
Peralta
Martinez
Garko
Francisco
Marte
Snyder
Lee

The annoying electronic hum on XM went away just in time for the start of the game.  Drubs starts it off with a hit.  Dellucci gets the walk to follow.  Good times.

Trade Rumors

0420091953_tiny by JK in CBus on Comment 20 comments

Here are a couple of rumors that are floating around in the printed media.  Take them for what they are worth, a rumor.  But it is interesting to see that the FO is out there shopping for help.

Here is one from the Dallas Morning News that is a couple days old.

And here is one from the New York Post from today.

Miller In The Pen? Yes, that Miller

0420091953_tiny by JK in CBus on Comment 14 comments

Casually reading articles around the internet I came across this quote Shapiro was credited with on the Indians official website.

'Who knows? Maybe Raffy Perez goes back there. Maybe we give Adam Miller a look there. Maybe Tom Mastny gets back in sync, and he becomes that guy'

This comes from Anthony Castrovince's latest notes column linked here.

I was trying to remember an example of such a high profile Indians prospect pitcher in recent years transitioned to the pen and all I could remember was Tavarez, and he's not even close.  

This seems very surprising, but he's definitely an intriguing option for the pen and maybe fits better there this year with some of the injury issues he has had so far this year.  It is nice to see the team taking win now stances in their thought process, and hopefully it makes for a very interesting month regarding roster moves.
