Paul Hoynes turns the wayback machine to 1991, when the Indians went to arbitration with both Greg Swindell and Jerry Browne. Swindell's acrimonious hearing was the impetus for John Hart's innovative concept of locking up young players up to or even past their free agent eligibility.

Excellent Review. Includes individual scouting reports.

...and other entertaining comps from Grant Brisbee. This of course is in reaction to BP releasing PECOTA today. Other than humor, it seems the point of Brisbee's article is to show that the PECOTA comps are not always perfect and/or reasonable, which made me feel much better after seeing that Santana is either John Mayberry, Joe Torre, or Chris Iannetta.

Sorry if this is self promotion, but whatever.
The Indians are not my favorite team-- that would belong to the Seattle Mariners (God, help me) but I wrote a piece on a few of the Indians offseason moves and how much I've liked them.

I hadn't looked at much on this site except the pitch f/x tool in the past, but they actually have some pretty great info. Fun browsing going into spring training.

Looks like someone might be losing his 1B job.
