I think we'd be much better off this year and down the road with Kipnis as the everyday 2B and Phelps as the UTL guy. But Manny Acta loves OC, for reasons that we as fans will never be in a position to know or appreciate. <br /><br />Regardless, the next time OC starts against a RHP, I'm going to lose it.Al Ciammaichellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17537082892978020756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-80112017645020035352011-07-25T09:55:54.018-04:002011-07-25T09:55:54.018-04:00*Non-sarcasm Alert*

I look at the Royals and see those highly regarded prospects getting called up to a team that needs Bruce Chen to pitch like an ace and feel badly for them. They have the burden of being perceived saviors even while they're adjusting to a new level of play and it strikes me as unfortunate.<br /><br />The Indians find themselves calling players up from Columbus under different circumstances and we should take a moment to appreciate that fact. They're competing, even if it's in a weak division, and, more to the point, they're scrapping for every win. Each loss means something, just as each win does. One night it's the rotation winning the game, the next it's the stellar bullpen blowing one, and throughout it all the offense is dealing with injuries. For a guy like Kipnis to enter this situation (just like he shined at AAA Columbus during the playoffs last year) I just think it gets his major league career off on the right foot from a purely psychological standpoint.<br /><br />Now... I hope that Orlando can shut his yap. In related news, I wonder what Acta has had to say about Uncle O in those potential trade meetings with Antonetti? What's Antonetti had to say in reply?
