While pundints such as Munch and other Cleveland sportscasters give the retort, "did we not get to game 7 of the ALCS last year", thats a completely blind arguement. This team has holes everywhere as far as where typical productivity should come from. We have lacked talent in the outfield since Manny left. <BR/><BR/>Its not just good pitching that wins championships, its pitching and competent hitting IE the Red Sox 2 of the last 4 years. As far as Im concerned, Dellichaels situation aside, Gutz is holding a spot until Nick Welgarz is ready to play which is going to be sooner rather than later. The problem the indians and fans face is that, given our financial makeup, management simply will not dish out that big contract that every power hitting outfielder is asking for now adays. Look at the contract Alex Rios just signed. The John Hart days are over: if we dont start getting more bang for our buck on prospects our hitting woes will continue. The good thing is, Shapiro and our scouts have kept the wheels churning on pitching, starters and relief alike. As long as that cog is in place, we will be competitive for the foreseeable future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-793995165494471722008-04-07T20:46:00.000-04:002008-04-07T20:46:00.000-04:00right on ron !!!!agree with everything offense is ...right on ron !!!!<BR/><BR/>agree with everything <BR/><BR/>offense is putrid - too much badball swinging - maybe the tigers will trade with tribeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
