Since we have so many catchers and are in the business of turning them into field players, maybe we can make this guy an adequate 2B? This just seems like they just wanted to unload the rest of Bob's salary. I'd rather they not insult my intelligence and just say we are planning for next year and start evaluating the young talent.<BR/><BR/>If after this trade I have to watch one more Boone AB or error, I am going to be a very unhappy camper.<BR/><BR/>I think someone spiked Shapiro's kool aid with Drain-O.Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1153421332722832492006-07-20T14:48:00.000-04:002006-07-20T14:48:00.000-04:00cleveland.com message boards are saying it's some ...cleveland.com message boards are saying it's some nothing A-ball prospect.t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1153418733007156882006-07-20T14:05:00.000-04:002006-07-20T14:05:00.000-04:00scares me that they don't even have a name of the ...scares me that they don't even have a name of the "prospect" we got, but I'm excited to see Carmona close. I'm a little surprised that Wickman would approve the deal.

Altanta, struggling to reach the postseason for the 15th consecutive year in the National League East, has had bullpen problems all season.<BR/><BR/>The Indians signed Wickman over the winter to a one-year $5 million <BR/>contract. He went 45-for-50 in save situations last year for the Tribe.<BR/><BR/>Wickman passed Doug Jones as the Tribe's all-time saves leader on May 7 against Seattle. It was Wickman's 138th save as an Indian.<BR/><BR/>Before Wickman, the Indians traded veterans Jason Johnson and Eduardo Perez since falling out of the American League Central race. The prospect they're receiving from the Braves will not have an impact on this year's big-league team.<BR/><BR/>Wickman, with 10 years in the big leagues and five years with the same team, had to approve the deal.t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-1153417202711299662006-07-20T13:40:00.000-04:002006-07-20T13:40:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.com
