April 3, 201313 yr To those who answer this seriously thanks to those who try to make a mockery of this topis I say thanks to you too, because you took the time to make a post on the baseball forum.:laugh:
April 3, 201313 yr Yoenis Cespedes - Oakland Adam Jones - Baltimore Really came to enjoy these guys in particular down the stretch and into the playoffs last year. There are more, but those are the two that jump out at me.
April 3, 201313 yr Author Humberto Quintero- This one. I know sounds like I am messing around but I am 110% serious. I started following him back when he was in advance A ball in the White Sox organization.He has never done anything as a MLB player, but I still like him a lot. Asdrubal Cabrera- Started following him in the minor leagues and have been a big fan since. He is doing very well for himself in Cleveland.
April 3, 201313 yr Asdrubal Cabrera- Started following him in the minor leagues and have been a big fan since. He is doing very well for himself in Cleveland. Absolutely agreed. As a Twins fan, I really wish he could go play somewhere else so I could like him.
April 3, 201313 yr Author U Might just get your wish.The brass are all over a player in the minor leagues and they are saying he will be the starter at short stop very soon for the Tribe. Talk around here is if(When) the Indians are out of contention A.D. will be traded. This is another stupid move by the worse front office in baseball. I.M.O.
April 3, 201313 yr First guy I thought of was Asdrubal. Very smooth and makes some outstanding plays. Andrew Mccutchen, Joey Votto, Albert Pujols are my favorite hitters to watch and I see them the most. Not hard to appreciate their AB's. Love watching Jaime Garcia pitch when he's on his game. Just looks effortless and his ball moves so much. Also really enjoy watching Andrus/Kinsler, Ian Desmond, and David Wright just to name a few off the top of my head.

Talk around here is if(When) the Indians are out of contention A.D. will be traded. This is another stupid move by the worse front office in baseball. I.M.O. I don't think it's stupid they just have a stud at SS (who is compared to B. Larkin) and know they won't be able to resign Asdrubal. Come trade time he'll bring back some quality young pitching and that's really what the Indians need.
April 3, 201313 yr Author 2 reason I think this is stupid The front office have proven they basically give players away when it comes to making trades and like so many other players the kid isn't going to be ready and he will be shipped back and forth to Columbus.
April 3, 201313 yr 2 reason I think this is stupid The front office have proven they basically give players away when it comes to making trades and like so many other players the kid isn't going to be ready and he will be shipped back and forth to Columbus. That's why they waited on trading Asdrubal in the winter and are letting the kid play some more minor league ball. He turns 20 in November. The Front Office could trade Asdrubal this summer and get guys who are either ready to make an impact in the rotation or will be ready by the following season. Or they could let him walk this offseason, pick up some draft picks and get some SP's who won't be ready till Bourn and Swisher are on there way out. I say the first option puts the Indians in a better position to win now or next year and see that money they invested this winter pay off.
April 3, 201313 yr Author The kis is in Double A (Akron) right now,I just do not see him being ready in 2014. I would rather sign A.C. and see what the kid becomes. But that's just me. I would bet when they trade A.C. one, if not two of the players will be minor league pitchers that has had arm troubles through out their careers and they all will be 2nd or third tier players in their current teams list of prospects. That is usually the case or it seems to be.
April 3, 201313 yr Hitters: Miggy Cabrera, Giancarlo Stanton, and Ichiro (not so much anymore). Pitchers: Verlander
April 3, 201313 yr Ichiro Adam Dunn Dee Gordon Mariano Rivera Joey Votto Aroldis Chapman Miggy Cabrera James Shields David Price
April 3, 201313 yr Hitter: Joey Votto/ Albert Pujols- if you know and love baseball watching these two at the plate should get the juices flowin. Pitch by pitch they have a different goal, amazing how methodical they are. Pitcher: Cueto / chapman- Cueto because again the way he pitches pitch by pitch is amazing. He has a very specific plan for a hitter and it usually works. Chapman, well this is pretty obvious, his stuff is electrifying, plus sometimes he doesn't know where it's going.
April 4, 201313 yr Evan Longoria - He can be one of the 5 best players in the game when healthy. Brett Lawrie - I love his intensity and his play. Always fun to watch.
