Indians stepping up social media initiative

In addition to the linked video, both Shapiro (@MarkShapiro) and Antonetti (@IndiansGM) are now on twitter. While I don't expect either to break any news via their accounts, I do expect them to be somewhat insightful and not a ghost account tweeted by an intern. H/T to @craigcalcaterra on the video. Update: Calcaterra details all the above at HardballTalk.

Jim "Boy Wonder" Bowden (!) leads a "Small Market GM Roundtable" with contributions from Theo Epstein (representing big markets), Josh Byrnes, Dave Dombrowski, Mark Shapiro, and... wait for it... a really, really, beaten-down looking Dayton Moore. I'll let you watch for the highlights.I made a bunch of jokes on Twitter, but I'll let you guys take it. Dayton does say "impactful" and busts out the "we have to overpay... not that we're making excuses!" line.

There is something serendipitous about Austin Kearns being signed to a a minor-league deal by Cleveland GM Mark Shapiro. Both have long been admired for their potential, but both are widely perceived (at least in certain circles) as disappointments. Despite that perception (which is surely at least somewhat grounded in reality), both have had their moments -- Cleveland's 2007 ALCS run, Kearns' 2002, 2006, and 2007 seasons. By signing Kearns and Shelley Duncan to virtually no-risk, minor-league contracts, is Shapiro showing he's still capable of smart moves? Let's see what Kearns and Duncan have to offer.

The Cleveland Indians announced that Eric Wedge and his coaching staff will not return next season. It's an understandable move, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking that Wedge was one of the main problems in Cleveland.
