This just in - Carmona and Hafner, still disabled

Insert witty observation here. Or wherever you'd like.

You know, there’s a business concept called “the big bath.” The idea is that, if you have a lot of work to do on your economic infrastructure, and you have a down year, you may as well get all the expensive crap done before the year’s over. Nobody’s buying your stock anyway, because the numbers already suck. And maybe you can slingshot out of it next year.

Well, Hafner’s been in a steady decline for a long time. If it’s the shoulder, and it takes a year of physical therapy and conditioning to make him Hafner again, it may as well be this year. Same for Fausto—that was a lot of innings. If he needs to ride this out, prepare his arm for the rest of his career, hey, cool by me. Victor, man, you been starting lots of games for years now. Take ‘er easy for a bit. Have a Fanta. Get better. Andy, you want three straight months’ of starts to find your groove? Have at ‘em. Swing hard, dude. Laffey, Sowers? Get your acts together. Gonna need ya next year.

Big bath.

I like it. Was this your major in college or do you subscribe to the Wall Street Journal?

I think you’ve uncovered the subliminal message that’s destroyed our year. Big CC Sa-Bath-ia has been in the headlines since before he refused to sign a contract.

Betcha some of the guys around here could use a bath, too.

You talking about me, again?

This is a sound policy, and I’m sure the Indians will heed to it, as it seems almost every team follows this policy in the second half, when its clear they’re out of the race.
