In fact, a "bruised" finger. Someone needs to give these "guys" a vinegar & water shower...friggin' pusses.

Does anyone have a list of free agents at the end of this year and who do you think the Tribe will be targeting this offseason?

Don't even waste your time looking at the top of the list.

Speaking of Columbus...

The Clippers manager extraordinaire was named AL Manager of the Year today. Just another feather in a cap that has many, many accomplishments at an age that makes him a prime candidate for a bench job at the MLB level someplace.

Why not the Indians?

I don't follow the Tribe as closely as most of you do on here, but it seems to me that Sarbaugh makes a helluva lot more sense than retaining a retread like Acta.

Anyway, here's a piece about him from today's Dispatch.

The teams aren't updated for trades but the information is still valid.

I used that website for my senior Independent Study in college. Those numbers/figures are legit.

I would take a serious look at Aramis Ramirez and move him to 1B. His power/production from the right side in the middle of this order would be just what this offense needs. I'd also look at Josh Willingham or explore a trade for a guy like BJ Upton.

I just go to ESPN.com. Go to scoreboard....then click on any team...any team...then hit roster for that team. Every player's name for that team with his income is listed. This is how I know the Tigers spent 100 million on payroll this year and Dolan shelled out 65 million.

Lance Berkman would add a nice switch hitting stick to the middle of the order to go along with A Cab and Santana.

Shapiro has already said that they've placed a call to Joey Belle to see if he'd come cheap.
