Getting this started a day early because it's come across that the Johnny Damon signing is official and I didn't feel like digging up the White Sox thread. He gets $1.25M with $1.4M in performance bonuses. I'll be interested to see how the line-up shakes up now.

As for the series Lowe goes Friday, Gomez Saturday and Jimenez Sunday. Hopefully Lowe and Jimenez can build on their solid first outings.

What if they used the money they are paying Sizemore, fucking Kotchman, and now Damon on a player that can consistently hit .300?

what if?

Not so sure about that. He did hit 18 homers last year, and on this team that puts him in Ruth territory with as anemic as this offense is.

They were talking though on 1100 on the Indians roundtable last night about how a line-up with 7 lefties is going to kill us in late game situations with left handed set-up men.

What if we would have taken all that money and signed the Hammer or Cuddy? Royals probably take 2 of 3 this weekend.

Let's say the Tribe signed Willingham ($7 million per year for 3 years) and put into LF and Michael Cuddyer ($10.5 million for 3 years) and put at 1B. Didn't sign Grady Sizemore ($5 million) and Casey Kotchman ($3 million), plus the savings from Roberto Hernandez. Are more people coming out to the ballpark this spring? I would like to say yes, because those signings would have helped out where this line-up is lacking. But, those guys still aren't huge names that the average fan would get overly excited about.

I have no issue with the Damon signing. Even if Strikemore comes back healthy () Travis "Halfyear" will likely get injured again so Damon could DH. Still would've rather had some of the other guys mentioned (Willingham, etc).

Leave it to you to provide some comedic relief.

What if......Steinbrenner would have bought the Indians?

2 things-

1. Lowe is in a good spot but he still needs to focus. Royals haven't yet this year, but can score in bunches.
2. Offense needs to add on. Too many times they have a big inning and think that's enough and don't score anymore.
