Cleveland Needs More Stepien Rules

Larry Dolan is running the Indians into the ground in an eriely similar manner to the way that disgraced Cavaliers owner Ted Stepien did his club. Dolan will say that the dollars he can afford to pay are based on the fact that his club is in a small market. Except Dan Gilbert has the third highest payroll in his league. Same market.

Deal Martinez and Lee?

If I was forced to watch a Cleveland Indians game for the remainder of the season, I would only really find solace in the fact that I could watch Victor Martinez hit, and Cliff Lee pitch - every fifth day. If the rumors of the Indians making a deal with the Dodgers for James Looney, and whoever the heck else they are looking to acquire in a 'return to the old days salary dump manuever' come to fruition, I would have no reason to turn them back on for the next two years. Sorry Grady. I know they are awful this year, but if the Indians had any real intention of every being good, wouldn't a Victor Martinez and Cliff Lee type player be the two guys you built your team around? Or is the better question, do the Indians have any real intention of ever actually being good. Bring back nickel beer night.
