These guys you see in the picture on the right and left of this blog are Victor Martinez and Grady Sizemore. Starting Center fielder and Catcher for your very own Cleveland Indians. Grady is a 2-time all-star and consider to be one of the best outfielders in the game. Victor is a 2-time all-star and is also considered to be one of the top cathers in the MLB. But you wouldnt know it with the Indians record of 31-48. Another tough season of Baseball. Grady is part of a few bright spots of the 2009 Indians. his Avg is 223 with 10hr and 39rbi's. For most people thats a great year for him it is just the start. Victor is batting 313 with 14hr and 56rbi's. So as i sit here and look at two legit players and the fact that the team is sturggling all together, i ask you this, how long befor Larry Dolan trades this guys in order to prevent from paying them the big bucks? If you look at past examples in front of you Cleveland heres jus a few names to consider. Manny, Thome, Alomar, Lorton, Belle,C.C and Phillips to just name a few. The Indians had a dominant team in the 90's with divison titles and making a run at 2 world series. We have went from 90 win seasons to barely winning 80. And the issuse is simple. TALENT.... you cant win without talent and the Indians have had alot of it at times. But you have to keep things in line. Sign your own players and build around them. not the other way around (Delucci, mcmicheals) Im a die heart Cleveland fan, if it has Cleveland in friont of it im down. But build me something i can be happy to support and spend my money on. Until then ill stay home and watch the indians choke in the 9th inning from home. Bye bye Grady and Victor, its been fun watching you guys play the last couple of years........
