Who do you have in mind?

Bauer is hitting arb as well.

I don't think Bauer's ceiling is nearly as high as you do though.


When the rotation is healthy, Bauer is probably their #4, and for a #4 starter he's among the better (if not best) ones in the league.

I don't see why he'd be traded given that, especially when he's only 25 and was a top 25 rated prospect (so there is talent/potential).

We were better. I guess when you're down 2 of your 3 best starters and your best hitter, it eventually catches up with you. Congrats on your big win.

I hear ya, I still think the Cubs had the Advantage for a 7 game series since they're 4 pitchers deep while the Indians had one with one playing out of his mind in Tomlin. They eventually broke down with short rest as I expected. Thankfully it's a 7 game series and not 5 or you guys win. The DH actually gave us the advantage while @ the Indians just because Kyle turned into Babe Ruth and batted over .410. I still can't believe he did that after not playing for nearly an entire season and coming of a knee that had not one but 2 ligaments completely torn.

Good series and good luck next year.

Much like against Golden State, I just want to see this team healthy in a rematch.

i brought it up becuase they discussed it last year....supposedly last offseason they did offer Carrasco to the Giants for Panik and Belt but were turned down....glad they were turned down- though i dont know the ancillary parts of the trade- im sure it was more than just that.

I could see them moving Salazar or Carrasco if they got blown away since the haul would be great for either one. Kluber is the ace so you cant deal him- and Bauer's trade value is not commiserate with his value to the Tribe so he wont be dealt.

If the Tribe could get a big time bat or two- id look into carrasco or salazar..

Has LeBron hopped back on the Yankees bandwagon yet?

Meh. I was at that Yankees/Indians ALDS game and got to see him display his NY hat on the jumbotron. I was pissed at the time, but I'm over it. He seems to have grown up quite a bit since those days.

That said, I'd trade the Cavs title and Lebron James away for a win last night.

Where would they have played Panik? 3B?

I heard Love was injured. I don't really watch the NBA anymore now that Ray is gone.
Love and Kyrie. It was essentially the same thing as the Indians' pitching staff - our #2 and #3 were gone.

yah i think so....that was pre-Jose really breaking out....i know they expected Jose to be a contributor- but expected him to play all over the place a a super-utill.....then he kind of busted out and just took over the job for good obviously.

Kyle Schwarber stole a base in Game 7 of the World Series. Just let that sink in.
