The Tribe beat the Astros 5-2 in their first exhibition game yesterday. Terry Pluto's got a column on it this morning. I want his job.
Meanwhile, five Indians packed their bags and headed out for the Non-Classic. Catcher Victor Martinez (Venezuela), pitchers Rafael Betancourt (Venezuela) and Fernando Cabrera (Puerto Rico), second baseman Ronnie Belliard (Dominican Republic), and first baseman Eduardo Perez (Puerto Rico) could be gone for as much as three weeks.
The departure of these five players isn't likely to help the Indians address their April woes, which are the subject of this article at MLB.com. Tribe Skipper Eric Wedge is trying to look on the bright side of this, telling Burt Graeff of the PD that this will allow the team to get a better look at guys like Shoppach, Marte, Gutierrez, Garko and Snyder.
The Indians take on the Astros again today at Chain o' Lakes Park in Winterhaven. Don't you wish you were there?
