Like I said on the last signing of Jackson, this just points to Brantley never really contributing again. I hope that isn't the case, but Tribe is going after guys that sure point in that direction.

It could be more of an insurance thing as well. I wouldn't mind starting utley at 3rd and Jose in left to start the season to give Brantley some more timeLaley23;1836188 wrote:Like I said on the last signing of Jackson, this just points to Brantley never really contributing again.

My worry is...why does he need more time? Why has this process taken so damn long? I fear Jonah Keri is right, and his injury was career threatening and the Tribe simply wont say that/ Instead, they just keep delayed it, and he keeps having MAJOR setbacks. Its pretty abnormal...Crimson streak;1836227 wrote:It could be more of an insurance thing as well.

I definitely agree with that. Such a shame too if it is indeed the case. First Sizemore, then hafner, and hopefully not BrantleyLaley23;1836241 wrote:My worry is...why does he need more time?

I loved Pronk, up there as my favorite tribe player of all time outside of Belle and Wickman. Cool Story Alert: Pronk was dating a cheerleader of Baldwin Wallace College while I was in HS and saw him on Campus a couple of times. He acknowledged me when I said "Hey Pronk" while walking by him.

I'm not a fan of Bauer's...at all. I'd be ok if they traded him. I used to follow him on Twitter, he acts like a 14 teenager. Side story: We have a family friend who works pretty closely with the Indians...said Bauer is a giant tool pretty much. All about himself. When they approached him to do a team signing, he pretty tells them to F off, he's got better things to do.Sonofanump;1836514 wrote:http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2017/02/cleveland_indians_pitcher_trev_7.html#incart_river_index
Trevor being Trevor.
And he's also not that great of a pitcher.

Tribe tops in central. But then, I think, Twins, Tigers, Sox, Royals

He did the tribe thing over the winter. I'm not defending him and I follow on twitter, but I think he gets a bad rap. He is a nerdy douche, but he trains hard as fuck and wants to win baseball games. I'm not mad bout that.Benny The Jet;1836619 wrote:I'm not a fan of Bauer's...at all. I'd be ok if they traded him. I used to follow him on Twitter, he acts like a 14 teenager.

yeah... agree with that. Some guys are just " characters"... and baseball has never had a shortage of them. As long as they don't disrupt team chemistry.iclfan2;1836656 wrote:He did the tribe thing over the winter. I'm not defending him and I follow on twitter, but I think he gets a bad rap.

1 of the things that bothers me about his training, is he's always so concerned about increasing his velocity. Paying videos of how hard he's throwing. Hammy even commented on it back at the beginning of last season. Saying the team's told him they don't care about lighting up the radar gun, they want to see better control. Which has been his main problem his whole career. Saw some post last night "Bauer has as much control over his Twitter as he does his pitches". Thought that was pretty accurate

Face-wise? They both have the default "whatever" expression at all times, it seems. You could photoshop a cig into his mouth and it'd fit as well as it does with Cutler.Ironman92;1836704 wrote:Bauer reminds me of Jay Cutler for whatever reason

I have a problem with him being a dumb ass before postseason games. He put the team in a tough position because of his stupid actions.iclfan2;1836656 wrote:He did the tribe thing over the winter.
