Great Sports Illustrated article this week on the rumor about CC being traded to the Rays for prospects.
With the way the season is playing out I would hope that Shapiro had already put that deal down on paper.

Offense helps out Sabathia
C.C.'s stellar start, 11 hits by Tribe lead to shutout victory over Reds
By Sheldon Ocker
Beacon Journal sportswriter
CLEVELAND: And the hits just keep on comin'.
Multiple choice: The above phrase refers to: (a) Mariah Carey's career, (b) Most of the ''guests'' on the Jerry Springer Show, (c) Shawn Chacon's first and last visit with his next general manager.
It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the Indians' offense. At least most of the time. But Friday night at Progressive Field, the Tribe unleashed an 11-hit attack to vanquish the Cincinnati Reds 6-0.
C.C. Sabathia also had a lot to do with the win, but so seldom do the hitters make it easy for any of the Indians' starters, the focus automatically shifts to them when they do.
But giving credit to Sabathia, manager Eric Wedge said: ''C.C. was fantastic tonight. From the first pitch to his final pitch in the eighth, he was in control the whole way.''

C.C.'s sensational once again, dominates Reds in 6-0 whitewash

Categories: Indians
 Brynne Shaw/The Plain DealerWith 11 strikeouts in eight innings Friday night, C.C. Sabathia posted his third consecutive game with double-digit whiffs. Grady Sizemore's 3 RBI sealed the Indians' 6-0 victory over the Reds at Progressive Field.
The C.C. Sabathia Trade Bait Tour stopped back in Cleveland on Friday night. All those who scouted in person or watched via satellite should have been satisfied, once again. Sabathia allowed four hits -- all singles -- in eight innings and struck out 11 as the Indians defeated the Reds, 6-0, in front of 34,844 in Progressive Field.
Leadoff man Grady Sizemore homered, doubled and drove in three as the Indians won their second straight. They remain 7 1/2 back in the AL Central as they toppled the last-place Reds for the first time in four tries this season.

INDIANS INSIDER
Cleveland Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona out until after All-Star break
Saturday, June 28, 2008 Dennis Manoloff
Plain Dealer Reporter
Right-hander Fausto Carmona likely will not return to the Indians until soon after the All-Star break, Indians manager Eric Wedge said Friday before the Indians played the Reds.
Carmona, on the disabled list since May 24 because of a left-hip strain, was supposed to be on a rehab assignment by last week, but a setback postponed it.
Early Friday afternoon, Carmona made two sets of 30 throws from 60 feet and ran sprints in left field. He moved reasonably well.

Francisco has 9 assists which ties him for the league lead among OF.

We suck. And there's nothing good that can come away from this season other than getting young guys up here and having a 2.5 month extended Spring Training
