Alright David T, that is a pretty sad story. I think you'll come to know and love the AL though, and start to wonder why people think pitchers should attempt to be batters.
That's true, and it was a good time, and we had lots of exciting chances... but walked away from the whole era with 0 WS rings. It's getting to be like the Cubs... they haven't won it in my lifetime, or even my father's lifetime... at least old grampy was alive back in '48!
This is the perfect example of the luck of the Indians. That's not the same Phillips that played for the Tribe. I'm not sure how that works. We were all really excited to have him join the team, but when he did he hit .208 and his OBP was .242. Dismal. In 2005 he hit .256 in AAA. I totally understand why we let him go. What I don't understand is.... what happened after that? WAR with Cleveland: -.6 WAR with Cincinatti: 20.1
It was hard to predict that a guy who could barely cut it in AAA would suddenly become an above average MLB player, and the Indians should not be blamed for failing to predict it. It just sucks that they have such terrible luck, and any move they make never pans out. I mean, one time they traded CC Sabathia for the second coming of Jesus, and he couldn't cut it in the majors. I have no doubt that if they trade La Porta away, to anybody, he'll probably be in the running for MVP next season.
Go Tribe.
