Enemy Lines An Opposing Team's Scout Sizes Up The Indians

They've gone through the root canal (first losing season in nine years); now the recovery process can start. They're still in Transition, but at least they've I got a plan....

Jason Davis and Ricardo Rodriguez are good, young power pitchers. Davis is a four-pitch package, but everything keys off the fastball, Rodriguez walked more guys than he should have last year, but he's the most advanced of the youngsters. If Jason Bere and Brian Anderson stay healthy, the inexperience of the rotation won't be an issue....

Danys Baez is back in the bullpen where he belongs because his splitter and fastball are his only two pitches....

In the outfield Milton Bradley has ability, but you wonder whether he'll bring it to the table, and Shane Spencer was a good pickup. He's a surprisingly good defender, and he's in the best shape he's been in for a while....

The infield's a mess. Rookie Travis Hafner had a good spring, but what happens when pitchers find his holes? He kills mistakes over the plate, but will he hit good pitching?...

It's heresy to Cleveland fans, but one of the best things the club could do is trade Omar Vizquel for more young talent."
