They need pitching desparately as there are no blue chip arms anywhere to be seen. The smart thing to do is rid itself of eeverything and everyone who won't be there when the Tribe can contend again including Grady Sizemore. Huh you may say? This team is pitiful, the minor league system is below average. Clean house now and build around pitching, defense, & speed ala the TB Rays. Sizemore won't be around past 2012 as FA looms,the Indians may as well get great prospects now for Lee, Peralta, Martinez, and yes, Sizemore so all the prospects traded for are ready for the Bigs by 2012-2013 and come up together. If you wait til 2012 wneh Grady walks, you get more prospects then who won't be ready for 2-3 seasons. Trade'em now! The Indians need to save money and build for the future.

We'll see as the season gets further along...
