Wahoos take 2 from the Dodgers, Sign Tony Graffanino and Juan Rincon


Two more journeyman were added to bolster Triple A Buffalo, as infielder Tony Graffanino and relief pitcher Juan Rincon were signed to minor league deals. The Tribe has now added an abundance of thirty something year old jobbers to the organization, possibly to fill in when the parent club makes a trade. Not what any of us expected, that is for sure.


The weekend series with the Dodgers provided some comfort as winning a series is always a positive. The hitting has still be spotty, but they did come out victorious in two extra inning games. Without a middle of the order with any semblance of power, this season is unfortunately going down the crapper. Also watching the pitchers' spot come up time in and time out with runners on base becomes increasingly rough to watch. The NL is just not as fun to watch with an automatic out in the lineup. Now I know CC slugged a homerun, but the rest of the pitchers did not fair as well. Omar comes to town Tuesday with his Gigantes.
