    Brantley Will be a Top 10 OF next year

    I've said it before, he's my avi for a reason. Michael Brantley has such a good eye at the plate and a sweet swing, he'll be a top 10 OF - if he isn't already.

    He got his average up over .300 this year and has had 2 very long hit streaks.

    He is a good defender, if not great. He just needs to walk more. He never strikes out, one of the lowest in the league in % per AB.

    Mark my words, SBR

    When your best pitcher is Justin Masterson, it doesn't matter who you have offensively.

    We're going for a starting pitcher at deadline, maybe Dempster. Our set-up/closer are the best in game this year, Pestano/C. Perez. If we could get a righty bat, we'd be hard to beat.

    We will throw Reed Johnson in with Dempster for 2 of your top prospects.

    Indians dont have any top prospects. They have drafted like dog shit for the last decade. How Mark Shapiro is still around is baffling. Horrible drafts and got fleeced trading 2 cy young winners. Sabathia and Lee and all we got is Brantley. Fukking disgrace

    Kipnis, Choo, Cabrera, Brantley is a start. We have to let Hafner go after this year, he's basically stealing $. Santana needs to improve. We just need a power-hitting Righty

    Choo has been pretty good leading off for the Tribe. Santana started out hot but hasn't been close to that since. Brantley is pretty consistent but I don't see him being a top 10 OF.

    Brantley is a singles hitter. Not top ten material.

    Smarter to build with pitching.

    Some good hitters on the block are always available. Young good pitchers are never available.

    How do you know it isn't their development that is the problem. Could draft just fine.

    chisenhall should be good too if he can stay healthy and out of jail...

    farm system isn't great, but then again they have alot of young talent already in the big leagues, learning at the MLB level
