Comments on: Gomez bad, bullpen worse http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4458 A CLEVELAND INDIANS BLOG FROM THE ESPN SWEET SPOT NETWORK Fri, 24 May 2013 06:46:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Ryan McCrystal http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4458#comment-2929 Ryan McCrystal Wed, 13 Jun 2012 17:57:50 +0000 http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4458#comment-2929 I agree. I’m not gonna fault Sipp for too much for the Votto HR. Entering the game he had retired 18 of the last 21 lefties he had faced. He’s a lefty specialist, and he’s proven to be more than capable of handling that job. He starts to struggle when he’s forced into action in other situations when guys like Gomez can’t make it past the 5th inning, but it’s though to hold that against him.

I consider a pitcher killer. Votto hits like .300 against lefties.

There are also trade options such as Dempster, Garza, and Jason Vargas.

I agree, I’m a little more worried about Sipp and I wonder if the guy they just got from the Rockies is to fix that.

If they did send Gomez to Columbus, what are the choices down there?
