Cleveland Indians (2017 Official Thread of CHOKE)

Boom!

Wow, bold move by the Tribe. Three year deal makes sense. Not locked in until he's 40 like the Angels with Pujols.

 

[buckeyemania11]

Wow they actually did it.

Good for the Tribe... the have the arms and if they get a few bats they're right there.

I hope they somehow get Napoli back on board and I will have great hope for them this year. Glad to see the home team be bold.

 

[NFBuck]

That's not a bad deal at all.

HUGE signing...Probably their biggest since the 90s.

Assuming EE doesn't fall off a cliff, and Dr. Smooth can be something resembling his old self, that's a pretty formidable lineup.

Without a doubt biggest move they've made since probably Roberto Alamar

Hell of a good deal by today's standards. I gotta hand it to them, this may not work out, but it's a hell of a bold move, the kind people have been begging for. So they're all in...bully to them.

They have no use for Napoli at this point.

Don't really need anything much at this point, they add Edwin and Brantley to a lineup that was one of the best in the AL last season. Nobody can predict health, but that's a deadly lineup, and well, we already know what the pitching is capable of.

Incredible coup for Cleveland. Gotta be the favorites in the AL once again. Let's see what they can do when they're expected to win.

Yes they do... DH him and get Santana at either 3rd or RF. They need bats and while Edwin is better then Napoli it's only truly a win if it's in addition to Nap.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Santana in RF or at 3B? You can't possibly be serious.

Kill that idea with fire

This is a horrible idea. Absolutely horrible.

 

[Zippercat]

Thank you Santa!! Or did Dick Jacobs somehow come back as the Ghost of Owners Past? Sure did not expect this from Ebinezer Dolan.

 

[bukIpower]

This is a horrible idea. Absolutely horrible.

Meh I'll take the extra battery anyday

 

[Magua]

If anything you rotate Santana and EE at 1st/DH. You already have Ramirez at 3B who was likely our best player last season. RF - Santana can't play outfield other than the no other choice moment of the WS.
