I had high hopes for him when he returned to the MLB with the Red Sox in 2014. Always enjoyed watching him play in his Cleveland days. Wish him the best of luck in his new role!

I bet he still misses most of the season

Lmao, that’s cold blooded.

I heard he Pulled his hammy during the closed door meeting too…

“Wheel chair Sizemore” chants at ballparks always cracked me up.

It’s always great when an experienced MLB player comes back to help out the next generation. Especially in this case since Cleveland has two up and coming outfielders in Naquin and Zimmer. Naquin got third in the AL ROY voting last year and Zimmer is the #22 prospect according to MLB. So they both should have relatively high ceilings.

Naquin ran a .411 babip I would not be at all surprised if he has a huge regression in that
JT19
Shame that injuries really derailed his career. Was always one of my favorite players and one of the best players in the league during his prime.

Exactly, when he played he played extremely hard which led to the nagging injuries. Shame his career flamed out the way it did.

He was just placed on the DL for suffering a paper cut from shuffling all that paper work ..

Such an incredibly talented guy – it’s a real shame his body robbed him of so many games.

That 2007 Cleveland Indians team gave us a thrill. At the time, the other than CC Sabathia, the SPs were unknowns Fausto Carmona, Paul Byrd, Jake Westbrook, Cliff Lee and a swarm of Lake Flies. Grady Sizemore was the best position player supported by Jhonny Peralta, Asdrubal Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Kenny Loften, Casey Blake and “Gronk” Travis Hafner. The set up men in the pen may have been the best part of the team with RRP Rafael Betnacourt and LRP Rafael Perez and their ERAs under 1.80

Pronk

Pronk was a waste. His inability to even DH three straight games or play the field really made his contract a huge burden. They were stuck with him which forced them to unload several quality players they could no longer afford because they were stuck paying that guy to take a day off to recover after making 4 plate appearances.

I like this news. Just wish they had hired Omar when they had the chance. I can’t stand to see him in a stinking Tiggers uniform.
Polish Hammer
Yes that prospect hasn’t cheated the system like Bartolo which the PEDs and experimental surgeries.

Hey, Steve. No article written yet about the Tribe signing Russell and Narveson?
Polish Hammer
Not worth the time to write an article for two guys that will not make the squad.

I think the rise and then fall give sizemore a pretty interesting point of view. Having someone like that for players who deal with injuries to talk to could be helpful.

Colon is still pitching and the prospect he was traded for is retired!

GM Mike Chernoff tells Bastian that the Indians are trying to “expose him to as much as we can.”
The women of Cleveland will thank you.
