As many can see, the Indians Prospect Insider got a bit of a face lift over the weekend. This was long overdue to clean the site up and make it looking more current, but to also get the site up to date so other features can potentially be added in the near future. Many thanks to my new partner in crime Jim Pete for the help in this endeavor as he did more of the legwork on getting things right.

Sailing with the Clippers is a weekly Monday morning installment that explores the week that was for Triple-A Columbus.
Despite Cord Phelps' Major League promotion and a cautious approach with third basemen Lonnie Chisenhall's mild concussion that has kept him off the field, the Clippers continued their winning ways, making it the second week in a row that they lost just one game. It was...
