We're back
OK, gonna give this thing another try....
Today's performance just reinforces my strong belief that Carsten Charles is not a #1 and the Indians will let him walk to the west coast come '09. Granted the Tigers have an impressive lineups, but 3 HR? Come on CC., that's about the 3rd or 4th time its happened this year. Barring injuries, and a little luck (which I should know by now doesn't exist on the shores of Erie), the top 3 in the '09 rotation will be Carmona, Miller, and Sowers. Mix in either Lee and Westbrook, or one of the other semi-promising guys on the way-up, and you've got a damn good (and cheap) rotation with an assured chance to lock in Pronk and possibly a stud corner outfielder or 3B (Carl Crawford and/or Hank Blaylock perhaps?). How good would G-size and Crawford look patrolling the Jake? You might as well put a net up from RC to the Left field line.
