Indians starting lineup will feature 6 players we originally drafted or signed internationally

Perez, Kipnis, Lindor, Ramirez, Naquin, Chisenhall

And another who never played about Class A before we acquired and developed him: Santana
And the starting pitcher who had a handful of games with his prior team before we acquired and developed him.

Three or more cheers to the scouts, the draft geniuses, the minor league coaches and managers.

Best Birthday gift for HB would be Tribe Series!

Happy Birthday HB, bring us a winner tonight!

Between my attending, and HB's bday, we've got this one covered!

No pressure on Bauer, just on JR.

Thanks, fellas. Go Tribe!

Happy birthday, HB!

Couple more postponements would help ...

BOSTON -- The Indians arrived to Fenway Park on Saturday for a workout under an overcast sky. On the other side of the country, Cleveland pitcher Danny Salazar continued to make progress on the sun-plashed fields in Arizona.

On the eve of the scheduled Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Sunday (postponed to 6 p.m. ET Monday on TBS), Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway said that Salazar continues to make progress in his throwing program. Callaway noted that Salazar logged a 35-pitch bullpen session Friday in his quest to be available to the Tribe if it advances to the AL Championship Series.

"He threw all fastballs," Callaway said. "Everything went well. The next step is just to continue to increase the intensity and get him healthy and feeling good."

All indications remain that Salazar would return as a reliever, if he is cleared to come back for the ALCS. Salazar, who has been sidelined since Sept. 9 due to a right forearm strain, is currently limited to throwing fastballs and changeups, because his curveball was the source of the most discomfort. He is working through his throwing regimen at the team's complex in Goodyear, Ariz.

Could be a real heavyweight battle in the ALCS !

Shapiro vs Antonetti !
