May not label him that. But no way does Francona not send him out there if he goes 1-2-3 with 2 Ks in outing one.HitsRus;1615062 wrote:^^^knowing how the F.O. operates, I bet they don't make him "closer" too soon as it may cost them more money when he gets to arbitration years.

Anyone else think it is time for a big time shake up in the line-up?
I was happy when Brantley got moved to the 3 hole, but we are a quarter of the way into the season just about and Swisher/Santana still aren't hitting.
It is time to move them down in the line-up and see if that can help get something going. Having your 2 and 4 hitters at .203 and .136 respectively makes it impossible to sustain offense, and maybe a move will do everyone some good.
Aviles needs to be playing every day.
Brantley's power this year has been a welcomed surprise to a line-up that desperately needs it. His career high in homers is 10 last year, and his 7 this year already are as many as he hit in 2011, and more than he hit in 2012. He is going to be an all-star this year.

Bourn 8
Aviles 4
Brantley 7
Gomes 2
Chisenhall 5
Santana DH
Swisher 3
Cabrera 6
Morgan 9
Ideally you'd have Murphy in there...maybe for Swish or Santana just for the time being??
Thats my ideal lineup at the moment.

Morgan should have never been sent down in the first place, IMO. He made things happen and now he is doing it again.

it looked like bourn pulled up early on his last ground out. I think he is going to be injury prone this year. definitely gotta keep morgan up and in the line up often so he can fill in.BRF;1615155 wrote:Morgan should have never been sent down in the first place, IMO.

Even if he's not 'feeling' it he'll be thinking it....yeah I'd keep Morgan, and I'd keep him in the lineup as much as possible too.

This was the first road series the Indians have won since the opening set at Oakland.
Can they get another series in Toronto. Pitching matchups won't be too bad. Salazar got bumped to Thursday so Masterson and Kluber can go on normal rest. Buehrle (who has been incredible this year) goes tonight, so thankfully we miss him. Will catch Dickey tomorrow.
