I’m still agitated about Austin Kearns, and that was days ago. I need to let go!

And Mark, I bet there are a lot of these scenarios on other teams. I think it would be a good project for the SweetSpot bloggers to collaborate on. We just finished one (it should publish this week) where we pretend there’s another expansion draft. My role was small, it was just who I chose to protect from the Indians’ roster/system.

Great summary on what happened to these guys. Thanks for putting it together. Do you think most if not all of the other teams have a similar list of potential pitchers gone wrong/injured?

Whatever happened to…..quality base-running? What in the hell is Hafner doing trying to steal that extra base? I want to think the Tribe has gotten better at this recently, but I just don’t see it. They run bases with reckless abandon, and it is infuriating to see 99% of our base-runners turn second and head for third, because you KNOW they are never going to make it. There is literally no excuse for this.

And I know that CP hasn’t given up a homer and a lonnnnnnnnnnnng time, but you seriously cannot throw that pitch to that batter in that situation. “Served on a platter” isn’t the term I am looking for, but it’s pretty close…

Sorry for jumping the gun on any last-night recap that may be coming, but I had to drop this frustration early and move on to other things today
