Indians notebook
Pitchers producing almost without flaws
Monday's only score was result of an error. Lee is throwing again
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
PORT ST. LUCIE, FLA. - One overlooked aspect of the Indians this spring has been the pitching, which has been almost monotonously effective.
Monday's 2-1 win over the Mets at Tradition Field brought home that point, as seven Tribe pitchers combined to give up one unearned run.
Jake Westbrook and Paul Byrd each got his second chance of the spring to work and turned in two scoreless innings apiece. Westbrook yielded one hit and walked none; Byrd gave up two hits and one walk.

Hafner sees more first base
Tuesday, March 06, 2007 Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Port St. Lucie- Last year, Travis Hafner was a virtual no-show at first base. The Indians' record-setting designated hitter played four games there because of a sore right elbow that prevented him from throwing.
This year, he could be a little more visible.
Hafner is scheduled to start today's Grapefruit League game at first against the Yankees at Chain of Lakes Park.

INDIANS SPRING TRAINING
Rookie pitcher's spin turning heads
Tuesday, March 06, 2007 Paul Hoynes
Plain Dealer Reporter
Port St. Lucie, Fla.- C.C. Sabathia could have gone home. He was done for the day, but he stuck around last week at Chain of Lakes Park to watch Adam Miller pitch in an intrasquad game.
"I was impressed," said Sabathia, the Indians' No. 1 starter.
Manager Eric Wedge watched Miller make his Grapefruit League debut Saturday against the American League champion Detroit Tigers in Lakeland, Fla. He threw two scoreless innings, striking out two, while Detroit still had many of its regulars in the lineup.

Carmona keeps Yankees' bats under control
Pitcher allows one hit, fans three after being battered in first outing
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
WINTER HAVEN, FLA - Fausto Carmona had things more under control in his second appearance of the spring in Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees.
Carmona started the game and worked two innings. The Indians gained a 6-5 win, handing the Yankees their first loss in six exhibition games.
In his first outing, Carmona gave up three runs, three hits and two walks in one inning. This time, facing a lineup that included Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui, Carmona yielded only one hit -- a ground ball off his glove -- and struck out three.

Rookie Miller slow to learn cliches
Otherwise, he's swift in most areas of game necessary for pitching
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
Apparently, Adam Miller never saw Bull Durham nor internalized the wisdom of Crash Davis, the film's lead character, portrayed by Kevin Costner.
Costner was an aging catcher whose job it was to teach the finer points of the game to Nuke LaLoosh, a clueless young pitcher with a great arm. One of Costner's cardinal rules: learn the cliches, so you can say nothing of substance but give the impression you're cooperating with the media.

Indians spring training: Elusive goal for Aubrey: Get healthy
Wednesday, March 7, 2007
By Andy Call
REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. Michael Aubrey's day starts early.
He arrives at the Chain of Lakes Park complex at 7 a.m. and begins a stretching and flexibility program designed to help overcome the injuries that have derailed his professional baseball career. Overcoming the discouragement that accompanies those setbacks, however, is something no trainer can devise a plan for.
"Family and faith," Aubrey said. "I've got a wonderful wife. I've got a 16-month-old girl. The Lord helps all of us, me included, every day. Those things are a lot stronger than any negatives I've experienced."

Carmona is able to relax
Wednesday, March 7, 2007

REPOSITORY SPORTS WRITER
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. Fausto Carmona, faced with his first big test of spring training Tuesday, passed with flying colors.
Carmona started for Cleveland against the New York Yankees in front of 6,625 at Chain of Lakes Park and found himself in a dire situation almost immediately. A walk and stolen base by Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui's infield single off Carmona's glove put runners at the corners with one out and cleanup hitter Alex Rodriguez coming to the plate.
