I wonder what would happen if a team was built on speed and timely hitting as opposed to power? Moneyball? |

#Indians manager Terry Francona just said Michael Brantley will play LF. Drew Stubbs will play RF.

Indians spent the 3rd most money of any MLB team this offseason.

If Trevor Bauer can breakout this year, we're in good shape.

Francona on Scott Kazmir: "He's been so good it's scary. I just wish we could bottle it for the season.

Btw, Indians currently have 75/1 odds on winning the World Series. A $100 bet wins you $7500.
Also, the over/under on wins is 77.5

Its all on that starting pitching bobby. If Masterson & Ubaldo bounce back and Bauer arrives? It could be a hell of a season. If they all shit the bed? It could be the under.

I forgot about Kazmir until you posted that quote. Don't forget that he is a 2 time all-star and is only 29. If he arm is healthy, he could be a steal.

Could be one of those Indians moves where they nab a formerly filthy pitcher on the cheap, make him look reasonably decent, and then trade him at the deadline. See Millwood, Kevin and Pavano, Carl |

See Millwood, Kevin and Pavano, Carl Juan Gonzalez was probably the best Indians free agent signing ever. |

Not sure why Gonzalez isn't in the Hall of Fame conversation. I don't remember him being associated with steriods and he didn't have those monster years in his late 30's that guys that took steriods had.
