The first round draft pick of the Cleveland
Indians apparently has a bit of a rap sheet.
The Cleveland Indians have become a model organization
in building and re-building a minor league system. Some
fans would say to a fault, as Mark Shapiro has seemed to be the antithesis of his mentor, John Hart, in dealing away those prospects. As Tribe Report has dealt with the numerous trade rumors over the offseason, it has become apparent that perhaps the Indians and their fans may have...

Here's a detailed look at player payroll for
all 30 clubs by Opening Day and End of
Year figures... Oh, and by Marginal Wins/Marginal Payroll.. Who spent the most per win, who spent the least, who spent the most wisely, who spent like a drunken sailor and woke up with a hangover. Dan O'Dowd is King. Jim Duquette and Jim Flanagan are Fools. Sabean and Shapiro bookend, as well.
Indians GM Mark Shapiro is both a realist
and an executive who is willing to act quickly.
And his club has played so poorly and has so many key injuries (Jake Westbrook, Fausto Carmona, Travis Hafner, Victor Martinez) that he is leaning more toward...
Santana inks the largest contract for a pitcher
in history... 7/150.75 million... 7 million signing bonus... with
the Mets, C.C. Sabathia is smiling... Mark Shapiro is dying.
Peter Gammons just related a fun story. Apparently,
Bill Parcells and Mark Shapiro met at Scott Pioli's
wedding (who was marrying Parcells's daughter). At the time, Shapiro was farm director for the Indians. Parcells asked him how things were going. Shapiro started talking about about his players and their injuries when Parcells interrupted him and said, "Nobody gives a shit."
The Tigers made the moves they needed to
improve their line-up, even if it did cost them
a bit of their future. Will the Indians answer any of their questions? So far? No deal...
Calling all GM’s and million dollar agents and
looking to get top dollar! If you haven’t done
so already, make sure that you give Mark Shapiro and the Cleveland Indians a phone call. Will the Tribe make you an over-the-top offer that is sure to make the rest of the Majors scratch their head? No, Shapiro won’t make deals like that. He’s not exactly frugal, but he’s not going to...
Is Joe Borowski going to cause the greater
Cleveland area to up their life insurance policies this
season, or are Mark Shapiro and Eric Wedge going to ensure the Cleveland Indians have a lock down closer in 2008? Tune in to MVN's Tribe Report for the first look at the back end of the bullpen.
The Indians are on the verge of acquiring
Rangers outfielder Kenny Lofton, a source said Friday afternoon.
An official announcement could be made later today. It's uncertain whom the Indians are giving up in the trade. Indians General Manager Mark ...

Brattain, Hardball Times, Baseball Prospectus, Bill James, Basebaqll Think Factory, Brian Borawski, Stan Kasten, Ken Rosenthal, Curt Schilling, Mark Shapiro, Terry Ryan, Billy Beane, Lewis Wolff, Chuck Armstrong, and a cast of thousands.
The Indians will conduct a press conference on
Thursday, April 10 at 3PM ET at Progressive Field.
Mark Shapiro, Chris Antonetti and a member of the club's 25-man roster will be on hand tomorrow at 3PM. Hmmm...this sounds like a signing to me.
Cleveland Indians fans of the world, enough is
enough. Ownership has screwed you over for the last
time. It's high time for a mutiny on the Erie.
Indians left-hander Juan Lara was seriously injured Saturday
night in an automobile-motorcycle accident in the Dominican Republic.
Lara, 26, suffered what an Indians spokesman called "life-threatening injuries" when the car he was in was struck by a motorcycle at an intersection in San Pedro de Macoris, D.R. The two riders on the motorcycle were killed instantly and Lara was hospitalized, ...
Author Scott Jensen for Dugout Central with another
good article -- This one takes on the poorly
run Tribe organization.
Carl Pavano is so upset about his salary
that he's stopped paying his agent. He hasn't stopped
playing baseball, though, that part was just a coincidence.
It’s been about two or three days since
we’ve last touched on the possibilities of C.C. Sabathia
being traded out of Cleveland. Paul Hoynes recently mentioned that the Tribe is in no hurry to find a suitor, which is actually surprising news. Somehow, I have a feeling that Mark Shapiro is fielding (and making) phone [...]
Cleveland's bullpen was a disaster last season, the
difference between the Indians being competitive or not, and
the hope of general manager Mark Shapiro was to create as many options for manager Eric Wedge going into the 2007 season. But one of those...
The following interview focuses on how Shapiro balances
the resources that the Indians have available to continue
to contend. Other topics include his views on the Draft system, whether the Indians will focus on resigning C.C. Sabathia, how this year’s first draft pick Beau Mills might be developed, how the Indians approach risk as it pertains to pitchers, and much more.
