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.

Kazmir to LA

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

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?

Trivia Question

Ok folks. Just for fun, anyone want to tell me who this guy is?

That's right. You're not from Texas?

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

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

peter m — Sun, 10 May 2009 16:26:10 -0000

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?

Tigers/Rays trade

Tigers/Rays trade

We argued the virtues of Edwin Jackson a while back. Apparently, the Tigers like him.
