That's a point you never really hear.PO13https://www.blogger.com/profile/10446613386847971528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-21220558689159213852011-07-05T10:00:56.036-04:002011-07-05T10:00:56.036-04:00insightful read. thanks, Paul.insightful read. thanks, Paul.Les Savy Ferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982164565549803749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-20141293328670646582011-07-04T12:34:24.948-04:002011-07-04T12:34:24.948-04:00Looking at your list of moveable parts, it consist...Looking at your list of moveable parts, it consists of every single one of the retreads the Indians still have on the roster besides Hannahan, and none of them is particularly marketable. Perhaps the OC as a backup could be relocated, but Kearns? Nah. Durbin hasn't been stellar (and wouldn't he be the guy to be relegated should the front office decide to promote from within?) either. I'd bet Hannahan could go somewhere (and probably should) for a nominal return just as a defensive bench player for a competitor. In fact, I'd say that that role is his destiny if he's to stay in the majors long term.<br /><br />Anyway, the thing about this stuff that's fascinating is that the Tribe is doing pretty well this year even though the offseason "harvest" was so scant. In years past, we've seen Millwood, Pavano, Kearns (again) and all sorts of cadavers make their way on to and off of the roster. We're a little sad to see them signed, and we're usually happy to see them go for prospects. Same for this year, except that we were sadder and will be happier. It's a good sign for the development of the Indians' nucleus of good, young players that we're more focused on the team's current record of wins and losses than whether we can get a prospect for Durbin.CLohsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640058765124455620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-65635844157729292332011-07-04T12:11:37.312-04:002011-07-04T12:11:37.312-04:00With the caveat that the Tribe would have to take ...With the caveat that the Tribe would have to take quite a nosedive (and end up something like 8 to 10 games out by the end of the month), I think you're only seeing the veterans shopped for whatever they could get.<br /><br />Realizing that this is (gulp) agreeing with Bobby Valentine, Durbin and Rafael Perez (who is about to get another pay hike next year and is a middle reliever right now...albeit a good one) would generate some interest. I couldn't think that Carmona would fetch much and I get the sense that the Indians are still thinking that Grady's working his way back from his surgery and don't forget that Sizemore's club option becomes a player option if he's traded.<br /><br />If you can find a taker for The OC or Kearns, I suppose you take it, but I don't see them rocking the boat even if they take a fast nosedive...and that's a big IF that presupposes that the Tigers (or White Sox) get as impossibly hot as the Tribe would have to be impossibly cold.<br /><br />And fixed GMAC...thanks.Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-37730254652617774682011-07-04T10:52:46.549-04:002011-07-04T10:52:46.549-04:00Say the Indians take a nosedive here in the next m...Say the Indians take a nosedive here in the next month and become sellers... who do you move?
