The Cleveland Indians, your one-stop shop for extra outfielders. Curious to see how he does with this cup o' joe.

Lofgren and Huff Double Header Today, starting at 5 et.

Tony Lastoria's got an interesting set of interviews with anonymous (altough it'd probably be pretty easy to figure out who they are) minor league players about how the process of being released by the team works. An interesting read.

Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports digs inches below the surface to explain the struggles of the Good Guys (they can't hit) and the Bad Guys (they can't hit or pitch.)

Who ended up going home with one of the best souvenirs in history?

SI's Jon Heyman tackles a very easy subject.

It says that Choo's rehab assignment can last up to 20 days, so assuming the max twenty, we're looking at a June 1st decision timeline on where Choo fits in. Looking at Franklin Gutierrez's split vs. RHP so far (.615 OPS), Choo's bat can fit nicely in RF spelling Gutierrez on days against tough righties. Based on the limited use of some bullpen arms this year, I wonder if the Indians will go with an eleven man staff, and carry the extra fielder giving them more time to decide what to do with Marte and Choo.

Trade talks with the Rockies are allegedly dead. Any interest from Indians fans?

Apparently Paul DePodesta, currently working in the front office of the Padres, has started a blog.

How cool would it be if an Indians front office staffer did likewise?

(I came across the link via Neyer, as usual.)

Huh? Speedy, light-hitting OF Jason Tyner gets Michaels' old 40-man roster spot and apparently half his old job — the pinch-running and defensive replacement parts. I guess.

Speculation has it that this situates the Indians better for interleague play, but aside from next weekend's trip to Cincinnati, the Indians' only games in National League parks are over a month away, June 17-22, when they'll visit the Rockies and Dodgers.

Now that he's on the 40-man, Tyner can't be sent back down to the minors unless he has an option remaining. That seems highly unlikely, as does the idea that the Indians will go with 14 position players and only 11 pitchers for very long.
