7.5 games out. Things are not looking so rosy.

Maybe Santana and Swisher will decide to show up one day.

This has been the problem with the Indians for the last 15 years. They will nickel & dime for marginal players instead of spending a full dollar for a star.

They will spend 5, 10, or 15 mill on a guy like Murphy or Swisher but they won't spend 20 mill on a superstar.

Look, I love Swisher and Murphy, they're great guys. But combined they are making 21 mill this year, 22 next.

I would rather have a 20 mill per year superstar, then put a guy like Holt or some young guy in there at the other spot. You could have minor leaguers fill out the bench too instead of guys like Giambi and Rayburn. Use that money for wisely.
