why don't they simply do with the pitching coach what they do with the roster in general.

sign about 5 pitching coaches to minor league deals, and the one that is the least underwhelming in spring training gets to come up to the big club by default.

Or, since the article said both Masterson AND Jimenez must be fixed, Francona will need:

Obviously there is a lot more hope for Masty. I think he will rebound next season. Jimenez I am not so sure about. He's got nasty stuff, just not a whole lot going on between the ears.

It's always about the money with the Indians. The hell with the talent.
On the trail: The Indians have scouted Japanese high school pitching prospect Shohei Otani, who says he wants to come straight to the United States to play baseball. They talked to Otani and his coach, but it appears he's going to be too expensive.

Under Major League Baseball's new basic agreement, each team has $2.9 million to spend on international free agents this year. The Indians already have spent an estimated $2.2 million and Otani reportedly is looking for a signing bonus of over $2 million.

Been years and years since I've watched that movie; going to Tribe games just makes it seem like the movie never ended.

Can we get a vBet on how low the attendance drops for '13? It went from 1.8M in '11 to barely over 1.6M in '12. I figure 1.2M to 1.3M in '13.

I know a number of season ticket holders who are joining my ticket partner and me: not renewing for '13. The apathy level among people I talk with has not been this high since the 80s.

Meanwhile, the Indians are pushing their Tribe Rewards program and have made not even the suggestion that they might think about getting any better players for '13. The rewards program? Well, that's a joke too. Here's their current hot item:

They started trying to pawn off a broken Zeke Carrera bat (I kid you not!) at 20,000 points nearly 2 weeks ago. They've dropped the starting bid to 15,000 and still can't find a sucker who would want it.

Even Major League didn't try anything this nutty...movie goers would have thought it unbelievable!

I joined the "Tribe Fan Club" the last couple of years, mainly to get 2 free tickets and Game Day Audio. Well, one of the "perks" was a picture of your name up on the Scoreboard. It took them ALL FUCKING SEASON to send it and only after I called and emailed 4 FUCKING TIMES. And when I got it, my jaw hit the floor - it was a pretty pathetic photoshop job.

Thanks Tribe. :shake:

Probably some guys from Latin America which is fine as long as they are good prospects and knowing the Indians organization I am sure that they are good prospects:wink:

They may be good prospects, but they're probably 5 years older than what they are :lol:

This is probably just a tease....the Tribe will turn around and resign a couple of these bums any day now..:(

Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore and first baseman Casey Kotchman were among the 137 players who filed for free agency Monday following the final game of the World Series.
Sizemore and Kotchman can sign with any team beginning at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
Two other Indians, Travis Hafner and Roberto Hernandez, will be eligible for free agency Wednesday if the Indians don't exercise their 2013 options. The Indians will not pick up Hafner's $13 million option and are likely to pass on Hernandez's $6 million option.
