In Full Bloom on New Year's Eve
In a surprise New Year’s Eve move, Anthony Castrovince is reporting that the Indians have consummated a deal for Cubs’ infielder Mark DeRosa , a versatile IF who is due $5.5M this year before becoming a FA after the 2009 season. The move would ...
A Lazy Sunday Remembering an Old Friend
There’s not much happening in terms of Indians’ news these days, so there’s really not too much to link up on this Laziest of Sundays (the one between Christmas and New Year’s) in which I’m really going to be lazy. With that in mind, I thought I’d go in a bit of a different direction to keep ...

Lazy Sunday After the Flurry
Trying to put a nice bow on the week that was before a trip to the Christmas Tree Lot presses me to the Great Outdoors, let’s get right into another Lazy Lazy: In case you hadn’t heard, the Wood deal is done , something that I assumed to be true ...
Woodzoski (The Close)
