Arizona Dreamin’ – “I Don’t Know…Third Base!”
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 2/11/2009 — As I finally pull this “Spring Training Preview” series that unintentionally morphed into a full-blown roster analysis into the garage, only one portion of the team remains - the infield positions and the players involved in 2B/SS/3B. So, since I’m not going to throw up links to the other four ...
Indians Annual 2009

I'll start by saying, for anyone on the fence about buying this book ... Andrew "afh4" Humphries is the Photo Editor, meaning that he selected all of the 130 or so photos in the book and wrote all the captions. And no, I am not ...
Arizona Dreamin’ – Doing the Bull Dance…Feelin’ It
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 1/30/2009 — Being simply no longer surprised or dismayed by another significant dropping of whiteness upon us (it is Cleveland and it is January after all), it’s definitely time to take another look forward to the land of cacti and sun…Arizona and Spring ...
The Rate of Rotation and Evolution
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 2/25/2009 — With the first Spring Training game scheduled for Wednesday at 3 PM (airing both on STO and MLB Network, by the by) and all of the focus on these “Spring Training Battles”, I think that it’s necessary to remove this focus on these “Battles” for the last few spots on the roster for a moment and ...
Were the Indians a success, a failure or both in 2008?
mvn.com 1/29/2009 — The Cleveland Indians were one out away from the World Series in 2007. How many times have you heard that over the past year or so. I know, I know, so many times that every time you hear it now, you ears start bleeding. Taking into account the 2007 certainly puts out a certain smell ...
The Good Ship Marte Has Sailed
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 2/20/2009 — As the Andy Marte Era ends with a whimper, nobody can feign surprise (unless the fact that he’s gone before the 1st Spring Training Game has even been played surprises you) as he finds himself likely out of the organization as the writing was on the wall that Marte should have a cardboard box ...
Point of Contention
clevelandtribeblog.blogspot.com 3/4/2009 — In December of 2001, the trade of Roberto Alomar to the Mets signaled that the rebuilding process was officially underway in Cleveland as the team that had gone to the playoffs 7 out of the previous 8 MLB seasons from 1995 to 2001 had evolved into a bloated, unproductive roster full of ...
More Expectations for Tribe
indians.gearupforsports.com 2/6/2009 —
The Cleveland Indians’ offseason has the team buzzing. After all the team filled its biggest need by
signing closer Kerry Wood, who has the potential to be better than any closer the Tribe has had in the past decade. On top of that, the Indians got a solid setup man in Joe ...
A Cleveland Miracle
joeposnanski.com 4/12/2009 — How about this banner day: FOUR posts. Absurd.
But I have to get this out there. I have written at great length here about what it has been like for me growing up a Cleveland sports fan. There was my childhood — 1967 to 1980 — when ...
Changing Of The Guard In Cleveland
springtraining09.com 2/25/2009 — For nearly an entire decade, fans of the Cleveland Indians clung to a roster that featured All-Stars at nearly every position. The mid-90s featured an outfield that most major league teams will never see with Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton and Manny ...
The Market for Juan Cruz —
Bleacher Report - MLB 2/11/2009
I feel for Juan Cruz, really I do. After failing to live up to the huge expectations with the Cubs, Cruz has turned his career around in the bullpen with the Diamondbacks. Last season, the free agent to be put up the best numbers in his career, ...
