Wow.

Davis has failed for 3 years running. I don't care how much talent you have, the move was forced. He was not doing the tribe nor himself any good. Hopefully he'll do better somewhere else.

Well, Marte was hurt on some level. Plus he's still so, so young.

The Davis thing is crazy. I don't mind it, but it's crazy.

Plus, now we get to pound him when pitches for some team like the O's.

Does this mean Matt Miller is ready or should we expect someone like Eddy Mujica?

The Davis thing disappoints me on some level, as he's one of those guys who you look at & say, "if he could put it all together, he'd be amazing!" Of course, the reality is that most of those guys never put it together, I guess.

I have no problem with the Indians FO parting ways with Davis ... but don't you think someone would have been willing to part with something for him?  Anything at all?  Cash?  Baseballs?  UnderArmor?  

The bigger question is....who takes over the Redneck Report?

I wonder if the Yankees pick a guy up like Davis, considering they are so desperate for pitching right now.

This is old news, Davis announced it to the crowd during yesterday's game.  It was a little awkward because the team was on the road, but Angelos let Davis use his box for the announcement.  I believe that the crowd just listened in confused silence.

Well, if Davis didn't struggle, we'd pitch him more.  Can you really blame Wedge?  We couldn't bring him in in the middle of an inning, or he'd implode.  We couldn't bring him into a close game, or he'd implode.  Every time it looked like he'd turned a corner, and pitch well for a couple straight games, he'd implode.

Hammy talked this afternoon about Wedge saying that telling Davis he was being let go was one of the hardest things he's had to do as Indians manager because he likes Davis so much.

Does anyone remember his start or maybe long relief appearance against the Twins @ the Metrodome a few years ago?

He was doing pretty well through, what, three or four innings?  Then he threw inside and got either tossed or warned and came completely unhinged - screaming and hopping around like a madman.

After that display I always suspsected he was wound a little too tightly for the bright lights of the show.

Your mileage may vary, however....
