The Move Along post
Just some quick shots:
- I love how Kenny Lofton and Trot Nixon combine for six hits Friday, pacing a 10-run effort against the Twins, and then are benched the next night. Eric Wedge insists on playing some strange form of baseball communism, where everybody gets to play regardless of whether they are playing well or not. And don't give me the "Johan Santana is left handed, so they had to play Jason Michaels." It's the best pitcher in the game, go with the momentum. Wedge didn't, and the Indians lost.
- Why on earth is Mike Rouse still here? The guy brings nothing to the table. Every team has a utility infielder, and almost all of them hit better than .119. It would be one thing if Rouse was a modern-day Dave Concepcion. But he isn't. Get him out of here. His defense practically cost the Indians Saturday's game. The Indians can't afford to be wasting roster spots.
-I'm not sure who it was who came up with ESPN's Now series on Sports Center, but I hope that person gets a cold sore.

I'm telling you, we all need to be quiet about Rouse, or the Indians will sign him to a multiyear extenstion just to prove us unknowledgeable fans wrong.
Already, I think Rouse will be back next year as the Tribe's lone utility infielder. Remember, it's about developing and nurturing players first and foremost. Winning, if it happens, is merely a byproduct of that in Tribetown.
