One little Cleveland Indian



There are few bright spots to the Cleveland Indians' season so far, but one of the players I have the most fun watching is pitcher Mitch Talbot.
He has, quite possibly, been the Indians' best pitcher so far this year, despite entering the season with only three games of previous experience, with Tampa Bay in 2008.
He seems to know how to pitch, and even succeeds when he doesn't have his best stuff.

The Indians actually have some good starting pitching. Talbot, Huff, Carmona, Westbrook. The relief pitching is not entirely awful.

Kerry Wood should probably be traded for a middle infielder who can hit.

Hafner should be traded, too, for someone who can play the field, although I still like cheering for Hafner.

These two moves would allow the Indians to free up money for the future.

The Indians could make minor trades to allow Omar and Thome to finish the last portion of their careers in Cleveland.

I would trade Sizemore (who is from Washington state) to Seattle for Cliff Lee right now.

Some thoughts,
