1 year @ $7 million.

 

Rotation of Sabathia, Westbrook, Millwood, and Lee looks good with their line up.

Division can be a toss up between us , twins, and tribe.

The Twins are clearly the favorites in the division. When you say toss up you mean for second place.

I'm still not sold on Cleveland, I think they finish with a worse record then last year, I really do, even with this signing. I don't think to highly of Millwood and I think there is a good chance he finishes the year with an era above 5.

Our little AL Central is growing up. Things ought to be a lot more competitive this year. If we played like we did last year, we will end up in third place. The guys are going to ae to step it up, knock off mental mistakes, and just flat-out execute to stay competitive this year.

Here come the Indians. 2005 division champs if we don't get our ass in gear.

Who is the 5th starter on the Indians right now?

ye man of little faith

Who is the 5th starter on the Indians right now?

Scott Elarton.

 

He pitched an amazing game against us with your boy Jon Garland on the mound serving up homers left and right. :headshake

 

Millwood sucks and has lost velocity on his fastball. Cliff Lee was terrible after the second half, and Cleveland has found a way to make their bullpen even s***tier by trading Lawton for Arthur "Rocky" Rhodes. f*** them.

 

Toons.

I'm guaranteeing the tribe finishes with a worst record then last year, how 'bout them apples

Millwood will only get worse in the AL. I look forward to facing him several times this year. He'll never be as good as he was with Leo Mazzone.

Dang, I wish I would've seen his name with another team, they'll be good this year.

Nice move by them. All they and the Tigers neeeded was an or two and look out.

Couldn't we have gotten him for 7 mil.??.........better deal than getting el Duque??

Millwood's name is better than his game right now.

7 mil is overpaying for him.

1 year's a decent gamble for Cleveland to see if he can rebound, I guess.

.........better deal than getting el Duque??

Not a chance.

silly injuns, shoulda paid clement 1.5 mil more, coulda had an awesome rotation. millwood will be rocked, around a 5.3 era. might squeak 12 wins with there bats though.

I dont give a s*** about Millwood. He ended last year by losing 10 out of his last 16. He seems like a pitcher that the sox would kill.

 

Also, i want to know why everyone is so high on cleveland. There rotation isnt as good as it seems. Millwood had an awful year last year he will likely have a ERA in the 5 range. Cliff lee gets way to much credit he started out good in '04 but he ended up with an ERA of 5.43. We know about scott elarton. He is not dependable at all. Their top 2 starters are similar to ours but their bottom three can not even be compared with ours.

 

Clevelands bullpen is crappy. While their hitting is good, i dont think it is going to carry them to a division title.

Well said, I'm tired of their hype. Their will be a lot of expert analysts who will pick the Sox third behind the tribe. Some will pick them fourth behind the Tigers. I don't think Arthur Rhodes will solve their bullpen problems.

Who cares what the analysts think. Yes, we get mad that we're not being picked to win the division, but oh well. The players need to do something about it on the diamond. What analysts say and what we look like on paper doesn't guarantee anything.

lets remember their bullpen sucks and they lost lawton and lots of their players i think were one-hit wonders

One hit wonders like Jody Gerut and victor martinez.
