Kazmir threw 73 fastballs yesterday [against Oakland], and they were getting progressively harder as the game wore on. The last three fastballs he threw were all 96 mph, and they were pitches 101, 102, and 103 on the day. A guy who lost his spot in Major League Baseball because his fastball was sitting at 86 ended yesterday throwing 96.

Kazmir hasn’t thrown this hard since his early days with Tampa Bay, and yesterday, we saw what Scott Kazmir with a lively fastball can look like. 72 of his ...

That seems like a mistake. In the other thread I said that Sandy might be a good fit because of his ties to the glory years and "what the hell", but I think Hargrove is too much of a look to the past and an attempt to relive the 90s. But it's cool that he's still a northeast Ohio guy and stays engaged with the team.

I have a hard time seeing any team give Hargrove another chance after he walked out on Seattle.

If Sandy becomes the manager, he needs to add a bunch of the mid-90s Indians to his coaching staff. Albert Belle as hitting coach, Manny Ramirez as bench coach, Jose Mesa as pitching coach and Omar Vizquel in some role.

Utility infielder. I want to see the guy surpass Julio Franco and Jaime Moyer.

Tough to do; doesn't Franco have, like, a twenty year lead on Vizquel?

Omar Vizquel in some role.

I would bet Omar would make a pretty good third base coach. One of his strengths at short was he always seemed to know how much time he had to make a play which suggests a good reading of the speed of runners and the batted ball. That seems like a combination that would make for a good 3B coach.

Saw on the NESN scroll that the Indians are hoping Terry Francona will answer their calls.

A friend of mine who works for a travel agent, says she just got a call from a Tito Francona requesting a vacation spot "Anywhere where there is no cell phone reception".

"What's that? You want me to give to the Indians? I already donated to my charities...I can't understand you..you're breaking up..look, a meteor! Gotta go."
