Bill James: SHAPIRO DID NOTHING WRONG

66

quote from James' Goldmine 2010, via Castro: "In my many years as a baseball fan, I've rarely seen things go bad for an organization, through no fault of their own, the way they have gone bad for the Indians. Two years ago, the Indians appeared ready take on the world. Two years later, with CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee long gone, Victor Martinez gone, Carmona having imploded, and even Grady Sizemore not playing as well, they've been pushed down to near the back of the line. I've never really seen anything like it. Their top five: Sizemore, Shin-Soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta and Carlos Santana."
