Fukudome should bring marbles to the Tribe line up.

Shapiro just tweeted that they know they need to do more (make more moves). The deadline will help push for more moves, and for us to stay tuned.


Good news.

i like it also...ludwick isnt in the lineup today...dont know what that means if anything

edit

Ryan Ludwick is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

There's nothing official yet, but the San Diego Union-Tribune is hearing rumblings that "a trade could be going down." Jon Heyman of SI.com reported this morning that the Phillies, Braves, Reds and Indians were all pursuing the 33-year-old outfielder. There's a good chance he'll be dealt before the July 31 deadline.

from the IPI


- A lot of people are underwhelmed with the deal, but this is expected to just be a shot across the bow as the Indians are still hot and heavy after several bats and starting pitchers. When the dust settles after 4:00 PM on Sunday, the Indians are expected to have acquired as many as two to four more players. So before we get all upset at the move, let's see what else they do and THEN look at all the moves collectively before we go off the deep end.

Buck was hitting .228 with a .275 OBP

Fukudome .273 with a .374

giving up 2 marginal prospects and only paying $775K of the $4.7 million left on Fukudome's deal.........i'll take it

Hey Fukudome could start for the Royals, and that might rule out our entire outfield in its current state, so it isn't overwhelming, but it isn't bad.

actually he probably couldnt start for the royals outfield...alex gordan, francoer and melky cabrerra...i dont see him starting over any of them

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Indians are making a "strong push" for the Padres' Ryan Ludwick.

The Indians acquired Kosuke Fukudome on Thursday but are still in the market for some more hitting and evidently have Ludwick at the top of the list. Ludwick is batting just .238/.302/.373 with 11 home runs for the Padres this season but has piqued the interest of multiple parties. He was not in Thursday's lineup, and the San Diego Union-Tribune heard the reasoning might be that a trade "could be going down" soon.

and apparently hunter pence can possibly be had by the phils for 2 single A prospects and a third prospect....i checked the prospects rankings and both chiz and alex white were ranked higher

Ludwick? Really? At this stage? I mean I don't have anything against the guy, I'm sure he's a good teammate, he probably tries hard, he likely walks old people across the street and stops his car for geese crossing the road...but he isn't going to do shit to help this team win a division.

And don't even get me started on Harang...
