I don't believe anyone is going to take Kipnis' contract off our hands unless the Tribe volunteers to eat most of the dollars. Well Schoop played shortstop his entire minor league career and has played a couple games at SS. They like him at 2B because he brings offense to the position. I know at times in his career he has played SS and 3B to provide offense at those positions during injuries to others. If they trade manny, that opens up SS position for Schoop. So maybe they move Schoop to SS and Kip at 2B, it gives them a potential combo they might like if they do explore that possibility. I do like it that Kipnis has really picked it up this month and has looked pretty good these past 2weeks Edited June 25, 2018 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a TON of money for a guy on the wrong side of 30 who has had 2 good years since 2013. I don't see anyone wanting him, unless the Tribe eats a ton of his salary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candyman93 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) Our division straight up sucks. We really lucked out. The other 3 playoff teams have 50+ wins. Edited June 26, 2018 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't completely given up on him, but you're probably right. He bounced back a few years ago after a bad 2014. He has at least shown that he can be a big-time player, although it's been a solid two years since he's played at a high level. Like you said, we won't get squat for him if we trade him, so we may as well hold on to him to see if he can turn it around. We can be patient since our division sucks.

Maybe a little bit but we also have been so consistently good that the teams in our division have thrown in the towel for the last couple years. While it is paying off now, it is also our own doing. They did not think they had a chance and have been sellers. We also have not played our best baseball and are still up there with the rest of the teams atop the league outside the big 3 of Houston, Boston, and New York. We have not been great this year but we actually have a better record at this point than we did last year... We have holes to fill but this team has a lot of good baseball ahead of it.

FGK Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 So, Francisco Mejia had an awful, awful April/first half of May and dropped off the radar for most folks because of it. He is batting .409 in his last 30 games. So help may be on the way from within, at least at catcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Lindor is 4th in the A.L. voting for SS. I could see Machado, but the two other guys in front of him (Gregorius and Correa)? WHAT A JOKE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the price you pay for having digital voting options. That's how you end up with things like Peyton Hillis on the cover of Madden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose is #2 in the AL and #1 infielder. It’s just fan voting for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
