In an interesting story on how economics have forced baseball teams to adapt, Peter Gammons' love affair with Les Tribe continues.
He writes: "Perhaps no teams showcased more young talent this spring than the Indians and Marlins. By the end of this season, it's conceivable that the Indians can bring in catcher Carlos Santana, outfielders Michael Brantley, Matt LaPorta and Trevor Crowe and third baseman Wes Hodges as contributors."
Be nice if the guys they actually kept in the major leagues play well, too.
The rest of the story about how teams are adapting to the financial situation is interesting, too.
Did I mention this story is interesting?
This is a good time to mention the new movie "Sugar"…supposed to be great. All about young Latinos trying to get invited to spring training in the bigs. The lead features a player with no acting experience…hand held cams,documentary style…same guy directed "Half Nelson" another critic fave.
