Chris Lambert will be called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his major league debut for the Tigers. A 25-year-old right-hander, Lambert was 12-8 with a 3.50 ERA in 26 starts for the Mud Hens. He was acquired from St. Louis last August as the player to be named in a trade for left-hander Mike Maroth.

Eeek! Kryptonite!

This is a bit off topic, but I’ve been reading that the Indians might keep Sal through the season. You think that might actually play out? Just curious what you folks thought.

by AcmeHardball on Aug 26, 2008 6:58 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It makes sense if they wait until the rosters to expand to bring up Victor. Sal’s role will probably be reduced to pinch-hitting for Marte.

by Buckeye Brad on Aug 26, 2008 7:31 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I think it has to do with the right-handed heavy DET lineup and the lefties on the mound the last two nights.

RF in DET is bigger. But I think it’s the lineup and the pitcher handedness.

by xrickx on Aug 26, 2008 7:32 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

so if RF is bigger, wouldn’t we rather have the better defensive player there rather than LF?

by oaksterdam on Aug 26, 2008 7:33 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not considering all the batters except Granderson are right handed and the Indians’ pitchers are left handed. You expect them to pull the ball. So LF will get most of the action.

I saw Martin pitch last week up here in CT when the Aeroes played the defenders; he looked downright nasty. He also fielded his position very well, snagging a couple hard hit balls. He really looked like a men among boys out here.

that’s a good at bat, good result, but some bad process.

he flailed and managed to poke one into LCF for a hit. but he should have let it by for ball four. it was either last night or the night before, he hacked at a ball way outside and made an easy out on what would have been an easy ball four.

i’m glad he’s getting hits. but he’d be better served by not swinging at pitches that far out there.

It’s a tough decision. I mean, sure, the White Sox have Punkzinski and Ozzie, but then the RedSox counter with PEDroia and… welll… who the hell else cares, they’ve got PEDroia.

Rather see the White Sox, no question.

I know PED isn’t liked much around here. But I forget exactly why. Is it his general arrogant nature, or what? What if he ended up on the Tribe, would everyone still hate him?

It’s not that Ben doesn’t have some value or some skills. But he’s unlikely to ever be better than he’s playing right now and his skill set would be more valuable for a team made up differently than our own. So his value is more for another team than ours, and he’s probably pretty easily replaceable for us. Think Coco Crisp, only with a slightly different skill set.

I’d rather keep Francisco and deal Choo, personally. But of the Francisco/Gutierrez/Choo group, Francisco would probably bring back the most in a trade, so it makes sense to deal him. To make room for LaPorta I mean. If the Indians don’t plan to start 2009 with LaPorta in the outfield then I would just as soon keep Francisco.
