It will be interesting to see if the Indians do anything before the trade deadline. I am thinking that they might look for a left-handed reliever since $6 mil man Logan is probably gone for the season. While I see some chatter about Sonnie Gray I just do not think that we need another mediocre starter however it will be interesting to see what happens with the 6 man starting rotation. I have to believe that something happens with Bauer or Clevinger. Maybe they will put Trevor in the bullpen for long relief hoping that they will never need him. I thought about mentioning the Little Cowboy but at least he throws strikes even though some of them go pretty far. They have quite a few young outfielders so they do have the necessary trade bait if they want to make a deal.

For the first time this year, they're starting to look like the scrappy/fun team from last year. After four months of fits and starts, we'll see if these two walk-offs finally propel them forward.


Still shitty.

Was at the game last night. I've been saying it for a while but Zimmer is the real deal. Could last night be the spark that sends them on a little run? Bullpen was decent after Clevinger couldn't get through 5.

He's certainly intriguing. He's HUGE for a CF and covers a ton of ground on defense. Last night's gaffe aside, he's been very good. The thing that concerns me long term is his very high strikeout rate. He whiffs A LOT, and doesn't balance it out with walks.

I'm not sure he will ever completely shake the strikeout problem but he seems like he will be able to hit his way on base enough to make up for it. The speed is pretty insane was well, massive ground covered in the OF and he's 12/13 in SBs so far.
