Ubaldo Jimenez is now a member of the Cleveland Indians.
Ubaldo Jimenez is a staff ace, even if he has been about normal since last August.
Ubaldo Jimenez throws six, maybe seven quality pitches.
Ubaldo Jimenez is worth the price of Drew Pomeranz and Alex White, because he can be an impact player now, while Pomeranz...

Nick Weglarz (Photo: IPI) Now that third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall and second baseman Jason Kipnis have been called up to Cleveland, Double-A Akron outfielder Nick Weglarz is arguably the best hitting prospect in the entire Indians organization.
Weglarz, 23, has a ton of strength and power as well as a good approach at the plate where he draws a lot of walks. Over the past few years he has...

Jim Thome (Photo: AP) The Indians have placed designated hitter Travis Hafner on the 15-day disabled list with a right foot sprain. The Indians have called up right-handed pitcher Josh Judy to take Hafner's spot on the 25-man roster and help a burned out bullpen. He may not be in Cleveland long as he probably will be optioned out after the first game of the doubleheader tomorrow so the Indians can...
This week featured eight games in seven days for the Clippers, and perhaps the traveling and lack of time off got to them. For the most part, it was a team-wide lack of execution, offensively, defensively and pitching-wise. Overall, the staff allowed 48 runs, but only 30 of them were earned, because of 11 errors. On the other side, the offense went 10-56 on the week with runners in scoring position....
