Another Indians trade sent Johnny Zeile and Matt Brooks to Detroit for Randy Lamb. The Indians advance scouting party must have seen something in Lamb they liked. Both Ziele and Brooks were getting very disenchanted with Indians management. Ziele has already seen action out of the Detroit pen in a 3-2 loss to Seattle, he struck out 3 and surrendered 2 hits in 2 plus innings of work. Gm Firesign thinks both Brooks and Zeile could be better in Detroit than Cleveland, that was his best outing in a month. Lamb is scheduled for his first start against the New York Mets. When asked if the Indians were pursuing a #1 starter for the rotation we got this answer "Maybe, pitching isn't exactly our problem".
That answer could be true, since the All Star break they have split with the Braves and have dropped three in a row to the Phillies. In those 5 losses, they have failed to hit the ball scoring only 5 total runs.
In other trade news Anaheim sent DH Wascar Sanchez and pitcher Vicente Lopez to Dover. Dover sent DH Alex Landrum, RP Ivan Alicea and prospect SP Murray Golub to Anaheim. Looks like Anaheim was shedding salary before the trade deadline. Do they have something in mind?
