Indians and Schoeneweis
In our latest installment of the continuing saga of Scott Scheoneweis, we see that the Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks the Indians might be calling:
Shapiro talked with agent Scott Boras on Wednesday night. Boras has outfielder J.D. Drew, who at one time was interested the Indians, but has since moved to a higher market.
“Scott has some relievers,” said Shapiro. “It's safe to say we talked to him about those relievers.”
Lefties Ron Villone and Scott Schoeneweis are Boras clients. The Indians could use one or two lefties.
The story goes on to mention that Schoeneweis had a 0.63 ERA in 16 appearances during the Reds' stretch run. Really? Then why the heck did Ryan Franklin pitch so much?
Heh…don’t blame me, I voted for Leyland.
