This is probably even more interesting. Last 30 seconds, Brown expresses regret about how he handled his non-promotion last fall.

And here’s Acta.

The PD deserves some vague props for doing these and also an admonition for not doing more with them.

One more Alomar clip. Sandy expresses how impressive he found the staff.

I can’t watch it until later, but is there groveling? I don’t want to hear a bunch of affirmative, confident statements, or about how impressive the staff or facilities are, or positive plans for the future. That kind of hubris is what lost us 100 games last year. Where’s my apology!?!? Admit that you suck!

As long as we’re talking about personalities, I thought this was pretty cool. From Castrovince’s latest piece:

The kids in the Indians’ arm system aren’t the only kids Mike Sarbaugh is entrusted with in a given year. Sarbaugh, who managed at Double-A Akron last year and will move up to Triple-A Columbus this season, spends his winters working as a substitute teacher at Governor Mifflin Middle School in Shillington, Pa. “I show up every day, and they tell me where to go,” he said. “One day I’m doing French, the next Spanish, the next science.” Sarbaugh, 42, has been in the Indians’ organization as a player, coach or manager since 1990. He was Eastern League manager of the year last season.

Lou Marson video, too.

Talks about the trade and the coming season and his skills as a player, jokes about playing third, and sort of stares blankly at Hoynes at times (I’m assuming that’s who’s interviewing him; sounds like Hoynes, anyway).

Hoynes: What’s the strongest part of your game, do you think?
Marson: Hittin’ doubles. (laughs)

I really like this guy.
