Triv has prostate cancer. I know just about no one likes him, but sucks to hear. Surgery tomorrow

Isn’t there a high percentage chance that it’s curable? At least a higher percentage than most other forms of cancer. Regardless, I hope it works out for the guy. He’s not entirely loathesome.

I like leadoff Grady better than 3-hole Grady. Leadoff Grady gets more ABs than anyone on the team, as well as more of an opportunity, at least in the 1st inning, to start rallies rather than come up with no one on and 2 outs.

by FredOx on Jul 30, 2008 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Me, too. I want Grady to be able to bat in both the one and three holes. Like in T-ball, we’d get a designated runner.
by FredOx on Jul 30, 2008 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why stop there? I vote Grady bats 1-9.
by obobcatu on Jul 30, 2008 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I can see the rationale behind that, but conversely, if he bats in the 3-hole, it’s likely he’ll have more people in front of him to drive in via the long ball and the XBHs. After all, in most lineups, even in the Yankees’ and Red Sox’s lineups, your weakest hitters, and consequently, your lowest OBPs players, will be in the 7-9 holes.
Leaving Grady up in the 1-hole will likely lead to fewer people being on base, and consequently, fewer people to drive in and fewer people on the HRs he hits.
Just my 2 cents – no offense to those who prefer Grady in the leadoff spot. I’m one who would rather have him in the 3-hole or even the 5-hole or 6-hole (and Victor in the 3-hole and Hafner, if he ever finds his old self again, in the 5-hole). This is of course presuming Crowe and/or Constanza, or guys who project to be leadoff hitters with speed, emerge and force the issue.
Otherwise, Grady will do in the leadoff spot, but I really think his power would be more beneficial lower than the leadoff spot.
Just my 2 cents.

by indiansfan on Jul 30, 2008 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of course, if our 7-8-9 hitters keep getting on like they are right now, my rationale for lower in the order isn’t as strong, and the leadoff spot argument gains more strength. :-)

by indiansfan on Jul 30, 2008 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is going to have to go into the graveyard of topics, soon. As I think I said last night, the problem is that we have no one who can get on base consistently in front of Grady if we move him down. So we’re talking about the difference between solo HR with no out and solo HRs with two out.

That’s getting closer in value! :-)
Just kidding – no offense intended, but I just thought that Carroll might be a quick option for them, since they have less than 24 hours to make a trade before it can be blocked and this injury sort of came out of the blue for them. Plus, besides being relatively cheap, he has an option for next season as well.
I like Carroll, including his speed and his ability to be a tough out at the plate, but if the Twins were willing to give up something of value for him, I’d be willing to listen, at least.
Just my 2 cents.

I’ve developed an unhealthy hatred for Ryan Garko. I would not be opposed to just giving him away in order to make the Victor-LaPorta-Shoppach decision that much simpler.
by obobcatu on Jul 30, 2008 7:36 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
No offense, but isn’t that a bit of a quick reaction – last year, he was the exact opposite. How do we know which is the real Garko, or if he’s somewhere inbetween.
No offense also, LaPorta needs more time – he may be a blue-chip prospect, but he’s NOT ready right now, and won’t be until sometime next year – Garko has at least that long (unless someone really wants him) to prove himself, and chances are, he’ll likely get it.
Just my 2 cents.

Hamilton mentioned that the talks were reportedly serious – of course, I’ll believe it when the trade actually goes down; there’s been “serious” rumors about Manny before, only to turn out to be nothing.
Supposedly, Hermida or Willingham are the return package (or part of it, at least), but neither have Manny’s bat, so it makes me wonder whether the Red Sox will really pull the trigger, especially since Ortiz’s health is still a bit in question.

Young players need playing time – you also need to consider their positions in the lineup. As Hamilton mentioned, I don’t think anyone is expecting Francisco or Choo to be manning the 3rd and 5th spots in a ML lineup, but they’ve done fairly well, considering. Same with Gutierrez in the 2nd spot – I don’t think anyone is expecting him to be there long-term, not with his long swing and slumps.
Just imagine what they would be like in the bottom part of the order, 7-9 (two of those three and Marte there). I smell “potential” there. :-)
Just my 2 cents.

Remains to be seen – my main point from the other thread is that the OF picture is wide open. Heck, we’ve had Jason Michaels, David Dellucci, and Trot Nixon as our veteran hitters, and none of them excelled.
And, it doesn’t seem likely we’ll either pay for a premium offensive OFer or two, and trading away several prospects for someone like Bay (who I’m not convinced about being “premium”) is probably not likely either, so you’re essentially looking in the bargain bin, hoping to catch lightning in a bottle.
Therefore, Crowe does have an opportunity, and if he only does what Andrew thinks he can do optimally, that will still be an upgrade over what we’ve been putting out there over the past few years. Additionally, our 2005 offense was aided by Crisp, and Crowe COULD be that type of player eventually. If Crowe can be that leadoff-type hitter we haven’t had since the days of Lofton, with good plate discipline and that base-stealing presence that pitchers will have to pay attention to, Crowe will have done what the Indians were moreless expecting from him when they drafted him. Plus, at the very least, he’ll provide additional time for guys like LaPorta and Weglarz to fully develop at the Minor League level.
Only time will tell.

Earlier in the game I expressed frustration when the Indians stranded a runner on third with fewer than two outs. FredOx showed me where I could find data on the subject (thanks Fred!). I made a quick table showing the percentage of runners that score with fewer than two outs as a function of team in the AL in 2008. While the Indians aren’t great, it turns out they are only a bit below league average:
Percentage Team
78.41 White Sox
71.60 Red Sox
70.27 Yankees
69.87 Tigers
69.34 A’s
68.72 Rangers
68.24 Twins
