Wednesday, I retweeted the Indians’ minor league statistics from TribeInsider, highlighting Oscar Mercado’s 4-for-5 day, with two doubles and homer, and issuing a rallying call.
Unleash Oscar, please.
Of course, that call was then greeted with a sad, but realistic alternative-reality:
Dammit.
Oh, how things can change in 24 hours. The Indians did select the contract of Maybin, selecting it as trade fodder to the banged up New York Yankees in exchange for the almighty dollar(s).
(Yes, the Indians acquired cash. Get them jokes off.)
Alas, the #UnleashMercado movement is alive and well.
