GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- David Dellucci's initial explanation for why he's about a week behind his teammates in spring camp was a lot more interesting than the truth. Dellucci called reporters over to his locker in the Indians' clubhouse Saturday morning and began to explain why he needed three ...

Dellucci's Hotshot tale and the Marte Buffet
The Tribe Daily —
I'm not sure what was behind the story that David Dellucci decided to tell reporters, but it's kind of rotten. Think of it as a plot line for the cool, womanizer in the group of friends of a sitcom.

(I did not, for the record, need further reason to dislike David Dellucci, but a self-inflicted pickup truck ...
