CAPTAIN FOR THE CAPTAINS Look for Mike Sarbaugh to be named the new manager of the Lake County Captains. Luis Rivera, the only manager the Captains have had since the franchise moved to Eastlake in 2003, is expected to be promoted to Kinston. Sarbaugh managed Mahoning Valley to the New York-Penn League title last season. Most of the Mahoning players will be playing for the Captains. …. Torey Lovullo, Kinston’s manager, will move up to Akron. Brad Komminsk, who had managed Akron, is slated to become outfield coordinator for the Tribe’s minor-league system. Marty Brown will remain manager of the Buffalo Bisons. 上面一整段都在講小聯盟教練的異動。 NEAR MISS The Indians almost squeaked Billy Traber through waivers. Teams claim according to the final finish, and after 28 clubs passed on him, the last team standing was Boston because the Red Sox won the World Series. Boston, always looking for left-hand pitching, claimed him. The Indians didn't want to lose him, but they needed a roster spot and since Traber didn't pitch a single inning last season while he recuperated from elbow surgery, the Indians thought this put him back at least one more year as a major-league prospect. …. Franklin Gutierrez, obtained from the Dodgers in the Milton Bradley deal, is batting .345 with six homers in the Venezuelan League. Now injury free, the center fielder had been slated to return to Akron, but instead could be on his way to Buffalo. …. Ryan Garko and Kevin Kouzmanoff helped their cause by hitting well above .300 in the Arizona Fall League. Last week, Kouzmanoff fell into the dugout chasing a foul fly, hurt his back and will return to Cleveland on Tuesday for a checkup. It doesn't appear serious. …. Pitcher Jake Dittler has a 2.03 ERA in Arizona. 先提Traber被撿走的事。28隊？波士頓是最後一隊？這個規則到底是怎樣？我以為 是按勝敗成績，同聯盟先選，這樣說起來不是嘍？ Bradley交易中從躲人換來的外野手Franklin Gutierrez在委內瑞拉的冬季聯盟打了 六支全壘打，打擊率.345 ，下一季應該是從3A開始（也要進四十人名單保護了） Ryan Garko(1B/C)和Kevin Kouzmanoff(3B)在AFL都有三成以上打擊率。Kouzmanoff 上週為了追一顆界外飛球跌進休息室而背部受傷，禮拜二會回到克里夫蘭檢查，不 過看起來不嚴重。 投手Jake Dittler在AFL目前自責分率是2.03。（他也很可能要進四十人名單了） Gutierrez 最新冬聯成績： BA G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO .313 22 83 15 26 7 0 6 15 4 16 最近兩場比賽沒有安打，讓他的打擊率從.342掉到.313 下面是去AFL的小聯盟球員成績 BATTERS G AB R H TB 2B 3B HR RBI SH SF HP BB SO SB CS DP AVG OBP SLG Cooper 27 89 17 25 44 10 3 1 18 0 1 1 5 20 0 0 3 .281 .323 .494 Garko 27 105 17 34 55 9 0 4 25 0 3 3 5 16 1 1 1 .324 .362 .524 Kouzmanoff 21 86 14 27 42 9 0 2 15 0 1 0 4 19 2 0 3 .314 .341 .488 Wallace 8 22 5 5 9 4 0 0 2 0 2 2 3 7 0 1 1 .227 .345 .409 Garko的全壘打停在4支很久了，Cooper的打擊似乎漸漸回溫，他也可能被放進四十人 名單中。不過BB/SO看起來都蠻慘的 @@" PITCHERS W- L SV ERA G GS CG SHO GF AB TBF IP H R ER BB IB SO HR HB WP Denham 2- 1 0 17.40 9 0 0 0 1 67 85 15.0 25 31 29 13 2 13 5 1 2 Dittler 0- 2 0 3.38 7 7 0 0 0 96 108 24.0 29 14 9 9 0 17 1 3 1 Ramsey 0- 0 0 11.42 9 0 0 0 2 37 45 8.2 12 11 11 6 1 8 3 0 4 Stockman 1- 2 0 6.53 14 0 0 0 6 83 93 20.2 22 16 15 7 0 10 2 1 3 Wallace和Ramsey是taxi squad（類似預備球員） BELLS ARE RINGING Since the season ended, Jody Gerut and Coco Crisp became husbands and C.C. Sabathia and his wife renewed their vows with a formal wedding. Originally, they had been married by a Justice of the Peace. …. This Saturday, John McDonald says, "I do" to Maura Cignetti in Boston. Charlie Nagy will be an usher and Bart Swain, Tribe's director of media relations, is skipping the Ohio State-Michigan game to be there, a rarity for Bart. …. Victor Martinez is in Japan, playing with a major-league All-Star team against Japanese clubs. He catches every other game. So far, the All-Stars are 4-4. …. Because Omar Vizquel has been assured a two-year contract by at least three clubs, he leaves the Tribe's radar screen regardless of the money. The Tribe doesn't want to set back Jhonny Peralta and/or Brandon Phillips that long. …. Once the Indians settle on their closer, they'll try to negotiate with Jon Lieber, a Yankees starter who has become a free agent. 原來還不少人結婚，包括Jody Gerut、Coco Crisp。Johnny Mac則將在這個週六於 波士頓完成終身大事。（不過因為聽說球隊可能會跟Lou Merloni續約，如果真的這 樣，Johnny Mac可能要另外找頭路了 @@"） Omar原本看起來好像要成為繼Albert Belle、Kenny Lofton、Roberto Alomar、 Sandy Alomar、Tony Pena、Bartolo Colon之後，又一個加入白襪的前印地安人球 員，不過昨天看到一個報導，聽說巨人開價3年12M！雖然我很喜歡Omar，但是如果 這是真的，我只能說巨人隊瘋了。 最後 Hal提到，一旦簽了終結者之後，球隊將會試著簽下Jon Lieber。不知道他的 消息來源是什麼，不過對我來說，這比Clemente等人的傳聞可信度要高。 If Armando Benitez, the closer targeted by the Indians, has his choice, he'd prefer to sign with the Giants because their manager, Felipe Alou, is a friend and fellow Dominican. But the Giants are reluctant to meet his price -- $5 million a year for at least 2 years. Money is often warmer than friendship. Mike Hargrove, new Seattle manager, has named his old teammate, Ron Hassey, as his bench coach. …. A funny thing is happening among baseball scouts. They're leaving clubs such as Oakland, which relies heavily on computers and statistics, to join teams that prefer human judgments. Benitez 可能會比較想去巨人隊，因為他跟Felipe Alou 是朋友，而且都來自多明 尼加，不過金錢總是比友誼溫暖（這句話不錯XD），巨人隊不願意出到 1年5M，至 少兩年的合約。 水手新任總教練Mike Hargrove 找了老隊友Ron Hassey（1978 -84在印地安人隊） 出任他的板凳教練。 --
