What do you guys think about that? I'm a life-long Indians fan, and
I've been living in San Diego for the past ten years watching 'Trevor
Time.' While he is definitely a local favorite here in San Diego, I'm
not sure he'll be a great fit for The Tribe. His velocity on his fast
ball is at an all time low, but he might be OK for a year or so in the
AL where a lot of the hitters aren't too familiar with him. However,
the hitters he'd face in the AL are NOT the weak stuff he saw in the
NL West the past several years.
What do you guys think?

Tribe has been burned almost every time they signed a NL relief
pitcher. 'doug' is correct, AL hitters are better-1 thru 9 than the
other league. No to 'Trevor Time!'

I honestly don't see the need to invest in a big budget "Closer".
Spend the money at 3rd, Starting Pitcher. or 2B..
