How many legit hitters do you see?

Les Levine on the struggles of the Tribe’s offense…

I have to say I agree with Les on this one. Grady, Victor, Garko and the hitter formerly known as Travis Hafner. The only other that I would add, only on potential is Cabrera. He had some solid at bats last season, and so I’m willing to cut him some slack. But what about the rest? If the Indians want to win it all, this line-up won’t get it done. Not in the American League. They need a minimum of 2 more near all-star level hitters. One of them had better be an power hitter. I’ve said it over and over, Dolan promised that when the team was ready to contend he would spend money to bring the pieces in that the team needs. WAKE UP!!!

Enough about me, what do you think?

    I gotta throw Franklin in there too. Don’t know why but I just think an athlete like that is going to start to figure it out once he’s been in there with consistency. Why not Marte? Why not give him some pt early?

    As for Gut, Rock has said it before- “Curve ball, bats are afraid. Straight ball I hit it very much.”

    He doesn’t handle breaking balls very well.
