In a bit of a surprise move, the Tribe placed infielder Jamey Carroll on the 15 day disabled list and recalled veteran infielder Tony Graffanino. Carroll was hit on the left hand with a pitch over the weekend in Houston. The veteran Graffanino (.267 career batting average) has played in the majors in parts of 12 seasons, displaying great position flexibility being able to play anywhere on the diamond. The Indians will be his 7th major league team. Look for the 36 year old to be pretty much stapled to the bench. Trevor Crowe and Josh Barfield may see some more time due to the Carroll injury, as they have probably been moved up the ladder.
