#5: 0/3 pitched today. The word on the street is that each will have the opportunity to make one more start, after which the decision will be announced.
Left Of Center: Status quo.
Somewhere Out There: This one was whittled itself down to a 3 horse race with the entire triad taking licks against the Cubbies on Wednesday. Felix Pie (1-1, .259, .670) is still my best choice, but I seem to be in the minority on that. Russ Canzler (0-4, 2 K, .268, .626) has just one hit in his past 17 ABs along with 9 punch outs. He has just about played himself into a demotion. Regardless, I would be shocked if the Tribe exposes Aaron Cunningham (0-2, K, .205, .462) to the waiver wire in an attempt to send him down.
Bench Me: Nothing today, but it is worth noting that, since March 15th, Jose Lopez has hit .167 (4-for-24) while Andy LaRoche is batting .313 (5-for-16).
Mightier Than the Sword: Frank Herrmann (5.79) and Dan Wheeler (8.00) each tossed a clean frame with a strikeout. These would have been the two that I would have picked, sight unseen, at the beginning of camp. If performance counts for anything, the Indians have to take Jeremy Accardo (1.29) over Wheeler. Unfortunately, as we all know, logic rarely enters the Indians' decision making process.
Red Tags: Cristian Guzman has been released and Freddy Lewis has been reassigned to minor league camp.
Split squads tomorrow 4:05 vs the Rox and 4:10 @ the D-Bags.
