INDIANS   Still recovering from watching Cliff Lee dominate the Yankees in game 1 of the World Series, it reminded me that Lee should still be pitching for the Tribe next season.  The Phillies will undoubtedly exercise the option on the southpaw’s deal for 2010, something the Indians coul...

In the next couple of years, great players such as Minnesota’s Joe Mauer, Seattle’s Felix Hernandez, and Tampa’s Carl Crawford are going to hit free agency.  All of those teams have the same dilemma that the Indians had with C.C. Sabathia, Victor Martinez, and Cliff Lee.  Is it better to trade...

By Anthony Castrovince The last time Jake Westbrook made a start in the Major Leagues, on May 28, 2008, Cliff Lee, CC Sabathia and Paul Byrd directly followed him in the Indians' rotation. Time have changed. Different Tribe for Westbrook upon return

Other things from his statements that should be refuted are his claim that team Eric Wedge inherited in 2003 was like an expansion team.  Expansion teams generally don’t have players like C.C. Sabathia, and players such as Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Victor Martinez, and Brandon Phillips i...

Now that the trading deadline has passed, and GM Mark Shapiro doesn't consider swapping out a quarter of his roster "sweeping changes", let's take a look at the what happened in the week that was--   The trade of Cliff Lee was the biggest question mark because the Indians did not get any top p...

Now comes word that the Indians tried to deal its best hitter, Victor Martinez, to Boston for a pitching prospect, and that the ballclub is talking to other teams about trading Cliff Lee before the July 31st trading deadline.  It would be the second straight year Shapiro dealt a Cy Young Awa...

There have been many rumors about the availability of two players who can be free agents following the 2010 season, Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez.  The Indians will tell you neither will be traded, but if they don’t think Lee will sign after next season, they should consider dealing last ye...

By Papa Cass(noreply@blogger.com) There is a school of thought that says now is the time to deal Cliff Lee and Victor Martinez. They have one more year remaining on their contracts, so Shapiro will be able to ask more than the going rate for a half-season rental. But Lee and Martinez are also the club's best pitcher and hitter res...

·          Do we really need to see more of Ben Francisco and Kelly Shoppach?  I understand Shoppach catches Cliff Lee, but why doesn’t Victor Martinez catch the rest of the time?  As for Francisco, if you’re not Andy Sonnanstine, he can’t hit you.

 NY 3. Cliff Lee was always a rumor-mill fantasy. The Indians have Lee signed reasonably for 2010 ($8 million), and Cleveland has every intention of contending next year. It makes no sense for the Indians to trade Lee at this juncture. 4. ... Jon Heyman's Mailbag SI.com all 9 news articles

By Joe Zedalis Travis Hafner must rebound from a horrible season (.197, 5 homers, 24 RBIs in 57 games) and there are rotation issues. Cliff Lee had a great year, but is it reasonable to assume he'll have another? Look for GM Mark Shapiro to pluck a low-cost veteran starter (Carl Pavano?) off the free agent he...

INSIDE PITCH The Indians have completed a rare feat by landing back-to-back Cy Young Awards. Cliff Lee, as expected, won this year's award, following CC Sabathia's win last year. Lee was 22-3 with a 2.54 ERA, leading the American League in wins and ERA. However, those two Cy Youngs did not tran...

By James Pete Ben Francisco’s second three-hit game in a row boosted another sterling Cliff Lee pitching performance as the Cleveland Indians shut-out the Tampa Bay Rays 5-0 at Cleveland’s Progressive Field. Funny how we all knew that in spring training.

By James Pete Lee’s ERA this season is a ridiculous .28, which is obviously the league best. It’s a welcome change for the Indians and Lee, who battled with injury and controversy all last season, before being sent down to Buffalo.

By Leitch The Indians opening day rotation included Fausto Carmona, only because Cliff Lee was injured. When Cliff Lee returned, Carmona was sent back down to Buffalo after winning two games in a row, and nearly pitching a complete game shutout in his last start. Carmona came BACK from Buffalo for la...

By Craig Lyndall The Indians also have one of the best starting pitching staffs that they have ever been able to assemble. C.C. Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Jake Westbrook, Paul Byrd, and relative newcomer Jeremy Sowers will be the starters on opening day. This is a great mix of righties and lefties; power and finesse.
