subject: The "Larry Dolan Effect" and Trade Deadline Implications for the Cleveland Indians [print this page] Generally speaking, Larry Dolan is too cheap to keep players that actually make a difference. My proposal is that Larry Dolan resigns, and allows Dan Gilbert to run the Cleveland Indians. He should be ashamed to be the owner who orchestrated tradingawayCy-Young winnersback-to-back years in Sabathia and CliffLee. What really gets meis that wehada $7 milliondollar option on Cliff forthis year.It's pathetic thatLarry Dolan can't afford that. This is professional sports, where the best players make well over that number eachyear. Lee was recently dealt from Seattle to Texas,where he has continued toprove that he is one of the best pitchers in the league. Philadelphiahas got to be living in regret overnot keeping him alongside Halladay.
Regardless,the Tribefaithful will always remain.. but we certainly deserve betterthanwhat our current ownership is providing. No amount of PR can spin the fact that Larry Dolan can't afford to run a team that can win on a nightly basis.
Dolan is contentwithsimply owning a team, he's not too concerned with how they actually perform on the field.He's the guy who bought aPorsche,then let it sit in the garage for20 years because he couldn't afford the premium gas. It takes money to run a Major LeagueBaseball team. Stop screwing Indians fans out ofa respectable franchise.
The standings back up this claim - The Indians are 15.5 games back in the divison, and have a stronghold on last place; We're even looking up at the Kansas City Royals. It's a mockery of what this team should be. http://ClevelandDeservesBetter.blogspot.com
