Raffie Right not worth $5 million
The Rockies have decided not to overpay Rafael Betancourt. I don't think he's headed back to Cleveland, however, since Colorado seem to be interested in re-signing him. I kind of miss him (the one from a few years ago, anyway).

The Onion Needles Jeter Again
I confess I saw this at the bottom of Jayson Stark's column, but I thought it was funny -- Indians fans need cheering up.

It's not Jamey Caroll changing teams, apparently...

ABJ channels LGT
Patrick McManamon describes the Indians as a team with deep flaws in today's ABJ. Much of what he says sounds pretty accurate, but it also sounds familiar, somehow. Do we know who his friend "jeff" is?

Rondon to AAA
The PD reports that Hector Rondon has been promoted to AAA. Elsewhere in the paper, Wedge is quoted as saying Laffey will start for the Indians on Wednesday. (I can't find a link to that quote, but I swear I read it in the paper version). Bye-bye Tomo, I guess.

Newsflash: Zombie Marte Sighted by Fangraphs
Nothing much new here, really, although the article does offer faint praise of Marte's performance at Columbus -- making contact, not striking out too much. With Wes Hodges due to return soon, what happens to Marte?

That's right. You're not from Texas?
Unsurprising that Dellucci wants to return to Texas. I found Toronto's alleged interest in him somewhat more surprising.

Sipp recalled
ESPN is reporting that Tony Sipp is being recalled to replace Betancourt. I can only find it in the transactions list (no article). Any confirmation?

Small Consolation? Yankees are Just as Bad
I think there's already been an intentional overreaction thread, so I offer this instead. The Indians and the Yankees have performed similarly badly so far this year in most areas (although the Yankees have more wins). Thus, the two teams have identical OBP: .354. Team ERA's are virtually the same: Yanks at 5.88/Tribe at 5.86. WHIP favors the Yanks, but not by much 1.53 vs. 1.6. Identical fielding percentages (.985). And so on. I know one can probably find other statistics that reveal some differences, but the bottom line is that these two teams have both played poorly so far this year. Since the season is NOT looking promising to say the list, perhaps we can change the rules and make it into a competition between the Yankees and the Indians?
