He's signed up for at least 2 more years...it may be 3 or 4.




And ,again, the Indians brain dust could have got a lot more for CC had they done it at the start of the year.....but they saw diamonds where others saw feldspar.






It appears the others were right.

Generally you trade in March you get players, trade in July and you get prospects. Maybe you saw this train wreck of a season coming, but not many others did, IMO.

Yes...those that observed from afar saw big things.

Those who looked up close saw little things.




Such as:

A bewildered Hafner displaying every sign of a wash up.( he's going to set a record for being out the longest time without any operation being done)


Not doing something about leftfield. The Michales/Dellucci platoon did 't work ( SUR-PRAZ SUR-PRAZ!) Lofton was signed and took it over. Then Lofton was dumped and ,of course, the Indians went back to what wasn't working.


Here's Jhonny ( they will never own up to this colossal mistake)


Boroski and a successful pen made up of mostly rookies....rookies who can cave the very next year...which they have.Boroski said everything but " I HAVE HAD IT! YOU WERE LUCKY THIS YEAR!"


Resigning Byrd who was saying the same thing as Boroski.


Wedge.


Shapiro.




















OK?

Good.







By the way...the monumental give-a-way of Phillips ...they keep compounding the problem. They trade their best 3rd base prospect for a 2nd basemen. A 2nd basemen who had one year in the majors.They did this before last year started . The 2nd basemen was in the minors at the start of this year and the 3rd basemen we traded has been doing admirably...though not with us. Yes...the us who has NO prospect behind the 35 year old Blake. That was supposed to be Marte ....
