I’ve been a big Talbot fan since he came up, but I’m starting to agree with you. For some reason, he’ can’t seal the deal. We’re carrying a ton of pitchers, but I only have faith in about half of them. I’m with you on Tomlin and Masterson. It’s a crap shoot which version of Carrasco will show up at any given start. I want another solid starter too. Choo will come back. Right now, we can make do with Brantley in left, Sizemore in center, Duncan or Buck in right., and Kearns on waivers or the bus to Columbus.

Is it just me, or is a back end starter a bigger concern than adding a decent RF bat? It seems we can only count on Tomlin, Carrasco and Masterson right now. If one of those 3 goes into a slump, the Tribe are in trouble. Talbot just isn’t getting it done. I’d give some of the younger minor league guys a shot but I feel that the cost of adding a decent 4 or 5 starter would be less than adding a RF. Although, I do agree the RF need is a bigger need, I don’t think management wants to make any big moves at that spot. Just my 2 cents.
