This guys got an opinion about EVERYTHING!! And it's usually the polar opposite of how I feel.Rockdawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392724225649893240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-86555742450196644552008-09-17T16:34:00.000-04:002008-09-17T16:34:00.000-04:00Do not get K-Rod.

I'd also go very slowly on trading any of the unproven pitchers. I don't see how Tribe will get full value and agree with premise that we really don't ourselves know who will emerge. <BR/><BR/>We need a corner bat. As much, we need to hope Hafner is not circling the drain. If he isn't, Tribe will be okay. I know it is the "mistake" Shapiro made last off season but, in essence, I'd repeat it. Go slow, slower, slowest on making moves. Get a bat, upgrade team speed. Trade Garko, trade Shoppach if they can get a premium young third baseman, but only then. Shoppach is not a fluke. Garko, Marte, even Gutierrez, are expendable, but I sure would not be trading just to trade when the minor league horizon is close for just what the team needs at this level.REhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803860060922533055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-21269468720144417572008-09-17T15:16:00.000-04:002008-09-17T15:16:00.000-04:00whoo-hoo! tribe at wrigley in 2009 for a weekend ...whoo-hoo! tribe at wrigley in 2009 for a weekend series! 2 weeks after a weekend series on the south side!Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-92232416757550183062008-09-17T13:57:00.000-04:002008-09-17T13:57:00.000-04:00I think Lewis is another Sowers.

Two young granny shot lefties should get us something and if you attach shoppach to the deal, we could get a huge corner bat. Sorely needed. <BR/><BR/>What are we doing about a closer? is K-rod completely out of our price range? I mean our payroll is what gonna be 52 mill next year? Even the Indians could spend another 20 if the right planets aligned.KonstrucktaTribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525965632642358024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-17535890244519277622008-09-17T10:35:00.000-04:002008-09-17T10:35:00.000-04:00i just thought about how sweet a season ending swe...i just thought about how sweet a season ending sweep of the sox would be, to return the favor in their home park and prevent them from making the playoffs.<BR/><BR/>could i be the angel of death for them? i'm guessing i'd jinx the tribe by attending, but perhaps if i wore a sox hat and got a couple tatoos the indians would win?Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-38081858102574660462008-09-16T23:53:00.000-04:002008-09-16T23:53:00.000-04:001) I think it was Barfield who just gave Victor th...1) I think it was Barfield who just gave Victor the first rally pie of the year, as somehow that was our first walk-off win of the year.<BR/><BR/>2) PC, wasn't it just oh... 5-6 years ago you, me, Popov, and Dozer were throwing down room temperature pitchers at Merry Arts after softball, stoked about four southpaws being the future of the rotation? Those four being CC, Tallet, Traber and Cliff, with Jason Dangerously rounding things off. Amazing how Cliff is the only one still in the picture.t-bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07557582144953901789noreply@blogger.com
