Laporta already has 2 HR's in Columbus. I hope the Tribe management doesn't get any ideas.
He's always raked in AAA. He always sucks in the big leagues. He is the definition of an AAAA player. That said, he'll be in Cleveland at some point this season, and he will be the same offensive vacuum he always has been.

carlos santana locked in until 2017. Ascab locked in until 2015.

rumor is masterson is next.

however, i wouldn't bet a lot of money on choo being here long term.

Well, the DUI last year and how he reacted to it, his health, etc haven't gone well. Oh, and Scott Boras...

At any rate, I'd be surprised if this trainwreck continutes he's gone at the break if he can cobble together any of his old form. IIRC, I'd say between him and Hafner that frees up/saves close to 20 million. (Though they've spent some of that on AsCab and Smooth)

Btw, on another note, and somehow I missed this coming out of Spring, and I only noticed that Chisenhall was getting sent to C-Bus (not that I have a problem with that per se) but, how in the fuck are Hannahan, Donald, AND Jose Lopez all on the same roster?

Hell why not sign Vlad Guerrero, at least he can suck right handed.

Two out of the three guys that hit home runs already this season. If they were not on the roster where we get our power:biggrin2:

The long-term signing of Cabrera concerns me a little bit. We have quite a few young guys in the minors and I guess I will like to see one more year of Cabrera before giving him that type of money.

Vlad Guerrero in police custody after Dominican club brawl

Free agent major-leaguer Vladimir Guerrero surrendered this morning in Bani, Dominican Republic, according to Dominican Today's website, after police had issued an all points bulletin for his arrest for alleged “aggression against” a police major and for starting a brawl in a disco.

Dominican Today reported that South Region Police director Juan Ramon de la Cruz Martinez announced Guerrero’s surrender in connection with the charges related to a fight at El Punto, a club in Bani.

However, the publication reported that several community leaders and Guerrero’s brother Wilton defended the player’s integrity, and denied that he assaulted a police major.

Police spokesman Maximo Baez said one of Guerrero’s brothers, two cousins and a worker were being held for their alleged part in what was described as “a melee.”

Guerrero, 37, played last season for the Baltimore Orioles.

LaBusta is the new Marte Partay.....he will "impress" in AAA then come up and be comical (offense and defense)

LaBusta is actually worse defensively than the Marte Partay though, seeing that Marte was used as a DEFENSIVE SUB for LaBusta at times during the 2010 season

Choo is now totally gunshy in the batter's box. Notice how many times he bails out on a pitch which is called a strike, on the inside corner. OK, he's been plunked more than his share of times. But it looks like he is now more worried about ducking than swinging hard. Expect to see his power numbers stay low again this season.

Choo got hit in the thumb last night by a pitch and i was sure he would be out for a few months after watching it...but he stayed in the game and seems ok...Acta actually said his thumb protector shattered because of the pitch...he has a right to be pissed about shit like that...its cost him alot of games and money...i think he will be fine, and i havent noticed him being that passive at the plate

He bailed out on two pitches by Sale on Sunday which were called strikes and, on replay, did not seem to be off the plate. I've seen same thing by Choo other times too, starting last year when he came back from the broken thumb.

Hey, I'm not saying I would have the courage to hang my arms over the plate facing a 94 mph fastball either...just saying that Choo IS jumpy.
