Actually I am hoping the Dodgers decide they need a #1 to lead their rotation in the playoffs. With the Diamonbacks falling back to the pack CC would look great in Dodger blue.
Of course this has nothing to do with the fact that the Dodgers have a good amount of hitters in their minor leagues/majors they can trade. I'll take LaRoche for CC straight up  (well, maybe a few more A or AA prospects) but you get my drift. If not LaRoche, DeWitt would be nice too. |

Indians promote Barfield, Cabrera optioned to Buffalo

Detroit-- The Indians, looking for more offense, have recalled second baseman Josh Barfield from Class AAA Buffalo to replace struggling Asdrubal Cabrera. Barfield will be in uniform tonight when the Indians play Detroit to conclude an 11-game trip.
Barfield, the Indians starting second baseman last year until Cabrera took his job in August, was hitting .256 (65-for-254) with 16 doubles, one triple, five homers and 20 RBI for the Bisons. He stole nine bases in 13 attempts and made six errors.
The Indians anticipated Cabrera, in his first full season in the big leagues, struggling this year, but they valued his defense at second and short. Still, they never anticipated him struggling like he did.

I totally agree with you regarding the Dodgers. They have the money and the talent and C. C. might be more agreeable since they are on the West Coast. I know it is not Oakland but at least it is in California.
It is about time that they sent Cabrera down to see if he can get his stroke back. However, I did read a couple weeks ago were the Indians front office says that he saved a run per game defensively when he plays. Not sure how they came up with that statistic.

Nice pickup for the Tigers.

Willis: 1.1 IP, 3 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 5 BB, 2 K, 2 HR
Against the Indians. 
Maybe the Tigers should have looked at his 5.17 ERA, 241 hits allowed (.294 BAA), 29 HR and 1.60 WHIP in 205.1 IP last season.
