days hope middle next three
You hope the back end is solid. The middle will have fluctuations. It's going to have some fluctuation over the next two to three days to get settled.
bob next pitch wants
Bob is an option. We know he wants to pitch next year.
good man next
I feel good about our 25-man roster. And also about the next 10, which is also important.
approach corner definitely fits game good league local major next played power size
He's definitely played the game the way we want it played. He has the power, size and athleticism combo to be a corner outfielder at the Major League level. His approach fits with our approach, and he's a local kid. It's a pretty good match. But he's still got to go to the next level, which he really hasn't been to yet.
again agreement clear deal next reach value
We're not going to reach an agreement on a multi-year deal with Cliff. We'll look at it again next year. It will be more clear what his arbitration value will be. We couldn't reach a value on that right now.

Mike Hargrove is and always will be a Cleveland Indian. In addition to being a link to our championship past, his professionalism, baseball knowledge and experience will make him a valuable contributor to the next era of championship-caliber baseball for the Cleveland Indians.
clearer deal easier heading might next value year
It might be an easier deal to do next year because we'll have a clearer sense what the value is heading into the first year of arbitration.
bullpen deserve flux guys hopefully middle next safe settle state three
It's safe to say our bullpen is going to be in a state of flux for the next two to three days. We're going to look at some guys and hopefully find some who will settle down the middle of our pen. There are guys down there (in the minors) who deserve an opportunity.
ability chance club games months next record win
This club has the ability to have a better record than they have. This club has a chance to win a lot of games over the next two months and make it very interesting.
josh solid work worst
We've got to get him more work. He's another switch-hitter and a solid receiver. It wouldn't be the worst thing for Josh to play more.
alienate bridge bring build core entertainment news people shows sides tent three time trying wider
We're trying to build a wider tent to bring more people in, but at the same time not alienate our core audience. These three shows will be a bridge between the news and entertainment sides of sports.
broadcast brought nose rubbing
We thought if we brought it back, we would be rubbing it in the nose of one of our most important broadcast partners.
along amount best bit certainly critics-and-criticism dealt decisions extensive interest judged last looking quite three
We're not looking to be judged along the way. We have certainly dealt with criticism, quite a bit of it, an extensive amount of it over the last three years, and we're making decisions that are in the best interest of the fans.
coming contending expectation games leading record yankees
To say we're contending with the Yankees and the A's was not our expectation coming into the season. If you told us our record would be 14, 15 games over .500, I would have said we'd be leading our division.
