2016-2017 Indians Off-Season Thread

[Green Demon]

Well the BBWAA did at least vote to make all ballots public next year so at least well know who to troll if someone makes a stupid pick(s) or they just send in a blank ballot which I think is idiotic.

Is anyone else going to attend Tribe Fest on the 28th? This will be my first time attending the event, and I'm actually quite excited for it.

Former Cleveland Indian Andy Marte and Kansas City Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura die in unrelated car accidents Sunday morning in Dominican Republic.

Wow, my condolences go out to their families. What a terrible tragedy.

I will also be there. I went in 14 and 15, but missed last year. I will be interested to see what it's like now that it is not in the stadium.

If we miss the playoffs this upcoming season, we know what/who to blame

I went to my first Indians spring training out here this last year.

I am thinking i am required to go back this year with my son.

Been targeting him as a good option all off-season, interested to see the money involved.

Get in shape, Austin. Need his defensive abilities in CF. Few are better tracking the ball in center, just hope he's got legs for it.

We've been talking about tossing him a minors deal for a few weeks in here.

Hopefully his rehab has forced him into being in good shape. Still, some guys still on the board I would have felt better signing than him, but I'll never complain about a minors deal.

Lot of incentives...nice.

 

[Kiddo]

If we could get 2010-2014 Austin Jackson that would be great! He's still only 29 years old. Batted .293 one year and .300 another while playing great defense. Hopefully he'll make the opening day roster if they sign him.
