As speculated yesterday, Fausto Carmona has been sent down to the minors, but to Rookie ball down in Arizona. This is pretty telling, demonstrating how far Fausto has fallen. I imagine they will be able to keep better track of him down there with all of the new technology and the club will probably send special instructors (Tim Belcher, Jason Bere) to monitor his progress. Look for Carmona to be "working on things" for a minimum month time period. It looks like Tomo Ohka will be the new addition to the rotation, just hopefully on a 1-2 start basis until Aaron Laffey and Jake Westbrook return. Travis Hafner returns, which will help out the beleaguered lineup even if he only able to play 4-5 times a week. It will also take some pressure off of Shin Soo Choo, as he is more of an 5-7 hitter anyways. The DiaTribe has some good lineup solutions today for our Wahoos, so make sure to check it out.The Indians take on the White Sox this weekend in Chi-Town for a 3-game series.

The reason for Fausto's demise is his overall chubiness. He came to camp looking like he ate way too many mickey mouse nuggets. Maybe I should ask him for his costco membership card since he's out of town now.
Hedo....I miss your musk
Pshhhhhhhhhhhh Please......
thanks for your support, guys. and it's not ryan, it's ryne
Andy Marte is raking in AAA. Maybe we can trade him for a pitcher?
maybe, but it would probably be pretty crappy pitching. If we see him in 2009 in an Indians uniform, I will throw as many $1 hot dogs at him as I can.
