Trade Cliff Lee Today

After the Tribe dropped another lifeless loss to the Tigers Friday, I have come to the conclusion that Cliff Lee needs to be moved this season. He is getting more frustrated everyday with this team and we all know that he is a hot head...

Sweeping a "Fire" Under the Bus

You just knew going into the ninth of today's game that the Tribe would get runners on base and flirt with victory. Then you realized they have teased us fans all year with a season-changing comeback or a last at-bat win...

Tribe signs Luis Vizcaino

The Indians' today signed veteran right-hander Luis Vizcaino to a minor league deal. Will he be another potential gas can or a guy the club can actually count on? The 34-year-old journeyman reliever posted a 5...

Cleveland Indians Call Up LaPorta, Valbuena, Barfield; Holy Crap!

I am thoroughly shocked by this news. For an organization that usually waits too long to shake up a club and call up rookies, they did the complete opposite. Matt LaPorta (.333 avg, .414 obp, 1...

Josh Barfield Sent Down for Aaron Laffey

The Indians' anemic offense lost its pinch runner today, as infielder Josh Barfield was sent down for new fifth starter Aaron Laffey per WTAM. This is a bit of a surprise, as the Tribe will now be carrying 13 pitchers...

Tales from the Teepee: Scott Bailes

Trevor Crowe Makes Cleveland Indians Roster, David Dellucci Moved To DL

As speculated yesterday, Cleveland Indians rookie outfielder Trevor Crowe will break camp with the big league club. David Dellucci's nagging injuries (thumb, calf) and his one-dimensional game (hitting left handed) made the move an easy one for the Tribe

Down on the Farm Report: Trevor Crowe

It may be sooner, rather than later, for Cleveland Indians prospect Trevor Crowe's major league debut. With aging veteran David Dellucci experiencing a nagging calf injury, the Tribe may be calling on their top 2005 draft pick to fill in...
