For those of you who expect poetry to rhyme, “June Swoon” must seem clever. For those of us who have heard that tune too many times in the last, oh, 60 years, it is the antithesis of wit.
We are at that point again. Can the Indians season be salvage by a genius trade or crafty waiver pickup? We all know the minor leagues are picked clean, with the possible exception of Tyler Naquin.
You might remember 2011 when the Indians boldly looked west and traded for Colorado Rocky Ubaldo Jimenez. It seemed so out of character to offer a package including two promising pitchers (Alex White and Drew Pomeranz along with Joe Gardner and Matt McBride).
