another brilliant waiver claim

The Indians claimed LHP R.J. Swindle on waivers Wednesday from Tampa Bay and optioned him to Columbus. The Brewers designated the 26-year-old for assignment Friday, and the Rays claimed him on waivers that same day. But Tampa designated him for assignment the next day. Swindle was originally drafted by Boston in 2004 and has pitched in the big leagues with the Phillies and Brewers, accumulating a 12.71 ERA in 111⁄3 innings.

5-0 loss to the Rangers. Carmon looked decent again. Still shaky control though.

Marte goes 0-3. :slappy: Just cut him loose already. I'm sure he'll go to Seattle or Texas and become an all star, but it ain't happening in Cleveland.

Raffy Perez back to his sack-o-shit ways. Jess Todd has been pretty shaky. Not sure he's big league ready yet.

Nope. He's dead serious as his 500+ MLB at bats would indicate. This team is getting awful production from a big bat position now that VM is gone.

Up 7-2 so far. I got a good chuckle out of the line up today...AsCab batting 3rd. The guy is hitting .313 with a .360+ OB% rhis season while "leadoff" hitter Grady is at .240 and .332. At least he has power and is producing runs. Seems like it'd be a natural switch there, but that's why they pay Mongo the big bucks...

fuck these cheap ass douchebags

Tribe negotiations with White at standstill | MLB.com: News
CLEVELAND -- While 5 p.m. ET might be the normal close of business for some, members of the Indians' front office were prepared to remain active late into the evening Monday, as the clock kept ticking toward the midnight ET deadline to sign selections from the 2009 First-Year Player Draft.

The Tribe's negotiations with the No. 15 overall selection Alex White remained at a standstill as of 5 p.m. The Indians were still hopeful that a deal could be worked out by the deadline.

"It wouldn't do me any good to say [how the negotiations are progressing]," amateur scouting director Brad Grant said. "We have about eight hours left. One way or another, we'll know by then."

Anybody know what he's asking or who's representing him?

I hear that theres only a 700-800k difference between what the Indians are offering and what White is asking

seems kind of stupid to lose a 1st round pick over so little money (in the baseball world)
