AkronsWitness Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Just now, candyman93 said: BUT I WAS TOLD DOLAN IS STILL TRYING TO COMPETE I mean...the Indians were 2 games out of 1st place until their entire starting pitching linup + multiple good position players got put on IR. I dont expect them to win basically starting the Columbus Clippers rotation for a month+ and putting hitters on IR every other week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Shut out and NO HIT AGAIN!!!! Tell me again why Ty Van Burkleo deserves to keep his job? (Oh, wait - he is being paid minimum wage - so he is Dolan's golden boy...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I’m trying to figure out a nicer way of saying that you Charlie Brown schmucks running up to kick the ball from Lucy deserve this for being suckers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooks1957 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Tribe selects 6'6" 240lb RHP Gavin Williams with the 23rd pick in the MLB draft. Big boy. 21 year old. 4 year college player at East Carolina. 94-97 mph average fastball, with 2 power breaking balls. Projects as a starting pitcher. How fast will he rise through the minors? Will he work out in Cleveland? Who knows - but..... This organization's track record for developing pitchers is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming they went this way because he's a good risk, but also because as a 4th year senior they probably set up an under-slot deal with him, allowing them to spend more on their picks today and get guys who are slipping because of high bonus demands.

About this time, Shane Bieber will have outperformed what we can pay him and will have been sent to a bigger market. We will then have a solid three years to enjoy really good pitching out of Gavin before he is an All Star for the Red Sox or Dodgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, am excited for our future replacement for Bieber, and then will be just as excited when we draft this kid’s roster replacement in 2-3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Quote The Indians have selected 11 players in the first two rounds of the 2021 draft. Ten of them have been college pitchers, including their first three picks -- RHP Gavin Williams, East Carolina University, LHP Doug Nikhazy, University of Mississippi and RHP Tommy Mace, University of Florida. Lol They wasted zero time getting Bieber, Plesac, and Civales replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
