Rouse no longer in the house

Fans have been calling for his head and today he is gone. Or at least off the official roster. Utility infielder Mike Rouse has been DFA'd.

No word yet on who will replace him, but Rotoworld is reporting that former Blue Jays shortstop Royce Clayton, who was DFA'd a few days ago, has been given his release by the Jays. No idea if there is a connection and we shouldn't jump to conclusions. But it is a possibility that Clayton may be heading to the Tribe. Again, all I'm doing is adding 2+2 and sometimes when I do that I get 5, so take it for what it is worth.

Asdrubal Cabrera was recently promoted to Buffalo and has gotten some work in at 2B there, although his regular position is SS. So that may provide some clue about the Indians' plans as well.

He's baaaack.....

Russell Branyan is back with the Tribe. Or at least in the organization. He was signed today and sent to Buffalo.
