I think they were banking on contending this year thus they didn't trade him. They felt if they were out of it, they could deal him in July. I can't argue with them not trading the Cy Young winner and consistent 12-18 game winner over his career when they were 1 game from the World Series last year. They rolled the dice. Lee or Sowers were no guarantee starting the year either. Byrd is tough to gauge as well. We all know he is gone after this year, but I can't argue with the decision to go with him starting the year.

You sound like Shapiro.

Anyone knowing Sabbathia's make up would know he should been traded once he rendered useless his Thome version of " They'll have to tear this uniform off me."

I guess it was made of paper mache.

I wonder if the Indians will give up a grandslam a game. Byrd opened the season spectacular

Heres Johnny is 30lbs overweight

Byrd looked bad on CBS sportsline and I cant even see the game live. They just post the Grandslam, back to back shots, and score. What a POS he is, ERA will be 20.20 after today
