Why is Donald being overlooked? When he's been healthy, Donald has done nothing but get it done.<br /><br />Also, if we deal a bullpen arm, can it please be Tony Sipp? That HR machine can go, and bring on Hagadone!Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-2402176260478085892011-07-21T10:52:11.119-04:002011-07-21T10:52:11.119-04:00Morse looks better all the time...Morse looks better all the time...Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-12192914797218104132011-07-21T10:51:11.044-04:002011-07-21T10:51:11.044-04:00The relief arms would be a good option to move in ...The relief arms would be a good option to move in a package.<br /><br />I agree Paul, that beyond Chiz it's ugly at third, unless you consider Donald a 3B, but I see him more as a 2B or utility option. But hey, my man crush on Wright continues. Those numbers vs. LHP are eye-poppin'.<br /><br />I DO NOT want them to entertain the idea of dealing White or Pomeranz unless it's for super pitching.<br /><br />Word of mouth has it that Hamilton mentioned that the Mets were scouting Drew Pomeranz last night...why? Surely, not for BELTRAN or WRIGHT!

In terms...Ahhh...the David Wright crush continues.<br /><br />In terms of trading that Core Four of players, I would agree with Hali and put Kipnis below the other 3...just by a little in terms of other options (Phelps) perhaps being viable. By that I mean that 3B past Chisenhall is an abyss in the organization and I can't imagine they'd trade young pitching (TINSTAAPP or not), so if they're going to deal from an area of strength to make a significant addition, I think Kipnis is involved.<br /><br />Also, I wouldn't discount them moving a guy like Smith or Perez (like I mentioned a couple of weeks ago), if they think Putnam, Hagadone, or CC Lee could come in and fill some middle relief innings.<br /><br />Then again, they could do nothing...Paul Cousineauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490622970961409253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-91261883997009295382011-07-21T10:26:08.044-04:002011-07-21T10:26:08.044-04:00Great article Paul, it is starting to become a rea...Great article Paul, it is starting to become a reality that this team might be moving forward without Grady in the next year. I have always thoguht Grady was a fantastic CF, when healthy, but that is a BIG what if! <br /><br />I would like to see the Indians add a corner OF, who is a RH bat, with the thought that they really need that moving forward and don't have that in the farm system. This organization needs to draft a couple of superstar potential OF's, they have not successfully drafted and raised one since Manny! The fact remains it is July 21st, 10 days beofre the trade deadline and our TRIBE is still in 1st Place, amazing considering the injuries and they have used 9 different starting pitchers and just finished a 8 game road trip, using what is probably thought of as the 7th and 8th best starters! Incredible year, now let's make a deal and get an everyday HEALTHY player in here to help, if it means trading one of the four untouchables, I say do it!sjwebber28https://www.blogger.com/profile/04492863290177250394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-4841435693986170402011-07-21T09:42:58.574-04:002011-07-21T09:42:58.574-04:00By the way, if one of the primary needs of this te...By the way, if one of the primary needs of this team is a good RH bat who can hit lefties, then take a look at these numbers:<br /><br />Here's one 3B's averages against lefties over the last three seasons:<br />BA - .378 / OBP - .471 / SLG - .662 / OPS – 1.133Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-12842137705250946812011-07-21T09:05:58.135-04:002011-07-21T09:05:58.135-04:00From your other article on the Tribe knowing their...From your other article on the Tribe knowing their players:<br /><br />"Perhaps Kevin Goldstein was right at the beginning of the year when he wrote that Phelps’ “Perfect World Projection” was that of a “solid, but unspectacular everyday infielder”<br /><br />If Phelps is projected as a solid, everyday guy, even though not spectacular, is it time we evaluate the sense of making Jason Kipnis, a good hitter who really isn't a 2B, into an asset by way of trade chip.<br /><br />Realizing these guys have done nothing to this point but show promise, isn't a bird in the hand better than two in the bush, especially when there are gigantic needs at the MLB level?<br /><br />You have four blue-chip commodities -- Kipnis, Chiz, White and Pomeranz. I would not deal the pitchers unless it was for stellar Felix Hernandez arms, which was the mistake they made in the CC deal which was corrected in the Lee trade by obtaining pitching. If you deal Chiz, it better be for a stud 3B (you know who I mean), but Kipnis can be a wildcard trade chip, because you have Phelps as a backup plan. Not only Phelps, but another forgotten man whom I think has proven to be a very capable player -- one Jason Donald.<br /><br />These guys CAN play 2B, and while they may not hit as well as Kipnis (maybe not), they likely will field the position better while still providing a nice stick in the lineup. And Kipnis just may be the key to landing someone, for both now and the future, who can help the Indians get over the hump.<br /><br />As much as I don't want to trade away the future, it doesn't change the fact that we've passed the midway point of July and your Cleveland Indians are still in FIRST PLACE.Halifaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16712626480683595819noreply@blogger.com
