If the Tribe can win 5 of the next eleven games (5-6). that'll be OK.
If they win 6 games in the next 11, it will be very good.

"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Jeudy is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Tillman is flanked out wide to the right. Judkins and Ford are split in the backfield as Flacco takes the snap ... Here we go."

I'm kind of curious about this trade. Brantley is only on the 10 day DL and Naquin can't even get a spot in the outfield. Hopefully, he can help, but I really don't get why we went after him. Any ideas, anyone?

Any ideas, anyone? Bruce has 29 Home Runs on the year and the Tribe offense goes stagnant at times. Edwin and Carlos are way behind last seasons HR pace.

That's a nice get for a team in need of some pop.

Love to see the team make a move like this rather than remain complacent.

Thanks, guys!! I don't really follow anyone else in MLB, especially in the NL. If he could give us some more pop, today's game might have ended a little differently.
Hopefully, our bull pen can get itself figured out as well.
Welcome to Cleveland, Mr. Bruce!! Hope you enjoy your stay...

I think its a really good move for now and for the playoffs. Good pop/depth

Who ever thought we'd see this day ... where the Indians would take on salary, and the Yankees would try to trade for a player on the cheap? lol

I'm lukewarm about the Bruce acquisition. Bruce looks like a classic 30-35 homers, 125-150 strike-outs, .250 average at best. Looks like he's considered pretty close to an average fielder at this point in his career. But I always defer to Tito's judgement. Francona knows what he's doin'. Right fielder, huh? And a left-hand batter.
