Indians Report Card
Here is the half way point of the baseball season review of my favorite baseball team.
Infield:
Travis Hafner- Much better than expected, has hit beyond anyone's expectation in terms of batting average and run producing. GRADE A
Ben Broussard- Ben is not a great player, but he has shown the ability to hit after a horrid start. I see him in the Hal Morris mode. I expect him to be able to hit in the .280s eventually. GRADE: B-
Ronnie Belliard-I was wrong about him. He has hit over .300 and played terrific defense. Grade: A
Omar Vizquel- In his last tribe season, Omar has been fine, with worse defense.Grade: B-
Casey Blake: Awful defense and an overrated hitter. GRADE: C
Lou Merloni: Fine bench player, that's all. GRADE: B
Outfielders:
Matt Lawton: Better than anyone's expectations.GRADE: A
Coco Crisp: A fine bench player and pinch runner. Unfortunatley they are playing him every day. He's not an everyday player. GRADE: C+
Alex Escobar: BLEH. GRADE: F
Jody Gerut: He's better than I expected, but worse than last season. C+
Pitchers:
Jason Davis: Inconsistant. D
CC Sabathia: Best on the staff B+
Cliff Lee: Almost as good B+
Bullpen: F
Overall: C+
