No chance that the Indians are playoff contenders in 2010.
Let Carlos Santana show the front office that his monster start isn’t just a hot streak so that they can make sure he’s ready to be in the show permanently.

Carlos Santana hit a ball off his knee on Wednesday. He’s going to sitting for at least a few days. They will not call him up until they think his defense and English skills have improved enough anyway. That, and his arbitration clock. A team with the Indians finances has to, unfortunately, deal carefully with all matters regarding player salaries.

I’ve said this on a few other sites, but I’m calling for June 7th to be Santana’s debut. It pretty much gurantees he won’t be a Super Two guy. It’s the first game of a homestand (so the fans get first looks at him). It’s an ESPN game against the Boston Red Sox. What better way to usher in the Santana era than the game that will feature Victor Martinez’s first trip back to Cleveland since the trade? It’s a match made in heaven if you ask me.

i hope soon because he’s on my fantasy team. the dumbest move the dodgers ever did was trade this guy.

i cant believe we let this guy go just to save a million bucks on the casey blake deal!

no one can believe they let him go. but they did have martin who was doing great before everyone else found out how to pitch him.

It’s just a matter of time. Just like Chapman, Strasburg, Starlin Castro ect. All 3 should be up by June. Chapman 1-1 with a 0.80 ERA 18 SO in 3 starts, Strasburg 2-0 0.73 ERA 17 SO in 3 starts, and Starlin Castro is hitting .404 1 HR 12 RBIs .426/.649/1.075 is his OBP/SLG/OPS in 13 games

Down the road he may project better at a position other than catcher. Had Blake been a total bust, this trade could have been up there with DeShields/Pedro. Remains to be seen…

I agree with you, you can never tell how a guy does from the minors to the big leagues but the scouts are raving about him. The Indians agreed to pay Blakes 6 weeks worth of salary when they traded him to the dodgers for Santana. What it really was was a sale of a top minor league prospect so Frank McCourt and his wife could pocket more money. Because of there disgusting divorce being public it came out that frank McCourt made $110 million dollars tax free last year. By the time they are done the dodgers will look like an expansion team.
