Cleveland Indians @ Chicago White Sox


Cleveland at Chicago, 8:11 PM (STO)

The Indians' prospects are such that losing this series probably means the season is over. Baseball Prospectus's Adjusted Standings say that the Indians are a better team than their 37-45 record indicates, but leaving Chicago down 10 or more games with four teams ahead of them is a deficit no amount of true talent can overcome. Not with two-fifth of the rotation and two of their top three hitters on the DL.

So as pathetic as it may sound, this series is the first round of the playoffs for the Indians. If they win, they'll keep Sabathia and move on to Minnesota. Lose, and any or all of their pending free agents won't be around for long.

Those of us rooting for the Indians to get swept in this series in order to remove all doubt and commence the psuedo-fire sale, check in here.

A 1-2 showing would do the job. I don’t ever want to get swept.

I’m hoping we either go 1-2, or deliver an emphatic sweep of our own. Nothing in between.

by jhon on Jun 30, 2008 7:00 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

The only thing in between is 2-1.

Brother Nick! Love the attitude man. Where’s the picture from?

by NickFantana on Jun 30, 2008 7:35 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I google-image searched “futility.”

The original caption read, “They say just one person can make a big difference. Sometimes they’re wrong.” I thought it was better just on it’s own.

It’s what Wedge sees in his dreams along with the voice, “We’ve traded Casey…”

Since the revelation Casey’s been pretty good. Well, his bat at least. I really thought he’d collapsed. I have to admit I was wrong and give Casey some credit. We should get a decent prospect in exchange for him. Not gonna lie, I’ll be a little sad when he goes.

i still think we’re going to give him an extension.

I’ve been wrong before about Casey, but I really hope we don’t.

Shouldn’t we-you know-rebuild things just a little?

i’m not saying it would make any sense, just that i think they’re going to do it.

I hadn’t even considered this. What makes you think this?

If they do this, then there really is no point to having Marte here. And this would trash the narrative I built around the Ensberg signing.

When it comes to Casey, that’s as plausible a reason as any. You might be completely right, and this has me concerned.

How about 2 out of 3? I’d rather CC win with a CG SHO to boost his stock further.

Actually, just one out of 3. I’d like Lee to do the same, so that he starts the all-star game.

As much as I’d love a fire sale, I can’t help but hang onto one last glimmer of hope. So much so that I’ve been pumped for tonight’s game all day long. Like Ryan said above, the playoffs begin tonight. In June.

Worst case scenario is we sweep Chicago, but make up no ground on the Twins or the Tigers providing an allusion of contention, yet going no where. I bet Shapiro has one eye on his red trade deadline phone and the other on whatever magic number the team is hovering around in the standings.

I remember that from the print edition, years ago.

Bob Costas told a great story, on a telecast or maybe on the old Coast-to-Coast radio show. Fred Snodgrass had an excellent major league career, returned to his hometown in California, started a business, raised a family, became a pillar of the community, served a couple of terms as mayor, died at an old age surrounded by children and grandchildren. An ideal life.

And every paper in the country ran the same obit: Fred Snodgrass, Dropped Fly Ball in 1912 World Series.

Speaking of Tampa Bay, I saw a TB local paper (no link) ref that they were looking at CC. I started wondering about returns. Reid Brignac is one guy that interests me, but that’s not enuf.

I kinda like Edwin Jackson as part of a deal. Still very young, strong live arm, getting better every year and could go into the rotation next year. Any thoughts on former uber-prospect E-Jack?

As far as I can tell, the local press is pretty ambivalent about him – too inconsistent. But considering his age, and the fact that we’d have a hole in the rotation if Byrd and CC both leave, I think he could slot right in with room to improve. Just me, maybe, but there’s not too many young ML starters we could get in a CC package.

by mrich on Jun 30, 2008 9:11 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Any of their front-line starters; David Price, Wade Davis, Jacob McGee, would be nice. I also like Desmond Jennings and Ryan Royster might be a good buy-low as he’s really struggled in High A this year.

by NickFantana on Jun 30, 2008 9:06 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

No way I’d want Jackson to be anything more than a secondary piece. The guy has stuff, but zero control.

by Ryan on Jun 30, 2008 9:09 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

But its improving year by year. That’s my point – he has pretty low value, still young with a good ceiling if he can harness his stuff.

Too upstream by now…

by mcrose on Jun 30, 2008 9:19 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

He has upside, but like I said, I wouldn’t build a trade around him. If you’re going to trade CC, you better hit a home run.

by Ryan on Jun 30, 2008 9:24 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Brignac would be the centerpiece. Jackson plus a lower level pitching prospect to fill it out.

Man, I am really, really going to miss CC when he is gone. Whatever team he goes to will probably become my favorite team for the rest of the season. (unless it’s the yankees or red sox but I doubt that will happen)
