It's still a 27 year old who has had great success at the major league level who is under contract for 3 more years (which I understand begs the question of why on earth would the Rockies have any interest in dealing him??) And of course makes you wonder if this is simply Exhausto part 2 (and also the guy can't hit either and all you get is more 3-2 losses instead of 5-2 losses).

Now yer talkin'.

He does have Exhasuto written all over him.


Some say this is unique in that the trade was not only for this year (??),but the next 2.Like you said, as it stands....lose prettier 3-2 than 5-2.


Thank God for Babe Fucl<U in right field.Where would we be these last few games without him?

...c u latah,HC......don't forget to check in during the Tribe's next 10 game losing streak coming right up.....thank God for those huge playoff run trades...

I think the Indians way overpaid for Ubaldo. He makes sense financially, but the guy has basically had a single really good season, one just solid season, and the rest of his career has been pretty average (including 2011).

We'll see if he leads the Indians to the promised land.

I think we covered this already.


The trade sucks.

So do the Indians.

I'm not sure. We won't know until 2013 if this was a good or bad trade. They traded none of their top hitting prospects (Kipnis/Chisenhall) and one of their star pitching prospects they traded pitched 2 major leage games and tore up his middle finger in his 3rd game. Pitchers are all crap shoots with their health including Jimenez. But also White and Pomeranz. I can understand the gamble they made.

Well thank our luckies for Fucl<U.


Why we needed a proven phwit! who is 34 with a whole 15 rbi's in 293 at bats this year---I'll never know.

I'm sure the new pitcher is going to do wonders with our 2 run offense.

Thank goodness the Tribe's braindust has thrown away the future for a playoff race " injection "....in which we are not even involved.


Maybe we can find something for Randy Moss to do.
