That deal was made in '02 when the wheels were coming off the wagon of that great '94-'01 run. Main pieces were Brandon Phillips, Grady Sizemore, and Cliff Lee, IIRC. We all know the Phillips debacle, but Grady and Cliff were excellent players for the Tribe, so I'd say they "won" that trade by a large margin.

I still believe that the Tribe gave up one Phillips too soon. He turned into a pretty good player as soon as he got to Cinci.

I think his attitude paid for his ticket out of town. But yeah, in retrospect, that was highway robbery. The clown we got for him never even pitched for the Tribe.

This team is mashing.

I knew this team would mash this season. The offense started off slow so the team as a whole struggled. But now the bats are warming up and the winning has followed.

Now, as long as the pitching holds together... this should be a fun season.

To be honest, the pitching has had just as big a role lately as the offense.

Masterson has been steady and Kluber and McAllister have been very surprising....Bauer has come in and walked the tight rope....Kazmir is showing great signs....even Jimenez has looked very good his last couple starts.

The bullpen, as always, is lights out and dominate. Not sure there is a better bullpen, I'd put it right up there with Washington's.

if the starters can get through 5-6 innings and keep games close, cleveland will be in great shape this year. the big problem is that there are some guys in the starting rotation that really blow up at times.
