Fausto Carmona had indicated to the Tribe that he would like to pitch in the Dominican Republic, but the Indians decided not to go that route.

Castrovince. Thought that was vaguely interesting.

I was perplexed as well. Its not like he needs the rest after missing time this season. Wonder what the reasoning is?

Clearly the team is trying to keep Carmona as far from the DL as possible

too subtle? or just lame?

fausto or DL?

My interpretation of this:

Carmona thinks his issues are mechanical and need fine tuning/adjustment to get back to his old self.

The Tribe thinks he’s a headcase and needs to shut it down, think things through, get perspective, and reassess his life for a little while (away from competition) to get back to his old self.

I’m with Fausto, and the reassessment/inactivity can drive a man crazy, especially when dealing with a recent failure. He’s only going to beat himself up about it more. This is all speculation of course, so maybe it’s something else entirely.

I think Fausto has had injuries that lead to mechanical problems, and mechanical problems that lead to injuries. I think the Indians don’t want him pitching for any other manager or coach right now, because one thing can lead to another pretty quickly.

it also may lead to david justice somehow.

Oh, they wouldn’t have a tribe rep over there working with him? I never knew how that worked. It’s just a whole different set of coaches? I guess that would make sense.
