After completion of the recent C.C. Sabathia deal,
Indians GM Mark Shapiro implied that the team still
isn’t far off from contention in 2009. In order to make that a reality, one can reason the Tribe would need to add a right handed middle of the line-up bat (LaPorta anyone?), find at least one starting pitcher who can pitch...

In our first post-All-Star Game rankings, the Boston
Red Sox just barely ranks ahead of the Chicago
Cubs, but the big story is the Milwaukee Brewers. The addition of CC Sabathia to the rotation to Sheets and Parra help the Brew Crew jump 11 spots to #4, the highest they've been all season. On the other side is the Oakland A's, dropping 8 spots to #15 after trading 2 starters.
