Morning Update: More CC and More Omar

It is a very slow morning with the off-day yesterday, and because of that. You get more OMAR and more CC. Just what you wanted, I know, isn't it great? A former Indian and a most likely-soon to be-former Indian.

Sucky.

Mark Dent talks about Omar Vizquel's return to Cleveland from a different perspective. This will be the first time he is in the visitors dugout, rather than in the home one.

Bill Livingston of the Plain Dealer talks about the unforgettable magic that Omar provided.

As for the crowds? I hope it's JAM packed tonight to give Omar a proper welcoming. Shelden Ocker provides his perspective on Omar. I can't go, or I would. But I plead with you to go if you get the chance. Even if you can't go today, go tomorrow and check out the legend. Especially if you have a young kid who didn't get to see Omar in his glory days.

He is one guy that the Indians' fans need to pass down to their children. I'm going to be doing my opinion on Omar and how he left sometime soon. I think enough time has passed between him leaving for us to get a very fair view of it.

If you want to read what more Indians' fans have to say about Omar, check out this article over at Bleacher Report. I helped contribute to it, and every week the round table of Tribe fans get together to discuss the current happenings as well.

Steph Storm talks about the two young Tribe players who are trying to fix themselves in Buffalo. Jensen Lewis and Asdrubal Cabrera are having different results so far, but I'm sure we haven't seen the last of either this year.

And of course, your daily C.C. Sabathia update thanks to MLBTR.com

This time we get some information on the Phillies and their trading chips.

You can count out Jason Werth, but aside from Victorino there aren't many noticeable names for me at least. I love Victorino, he is talented as all get out. He can run, throw, play defense and his bat is solid. He'd easily appease Tribe fans because he could hit second, or even make most people's fantasy of Grady in the three hole come true.

The rest are prospects that you can view by clicking the link. MLBTR links to their statistics. All of them are in AA ball or lower, which I don't think is a good fit for the Indians. They are going to want a few guys that are a lot closer to contributing than that.

Dennis Manoloff of the Plain Dealer is posing the question about C.C. now. He ponders what the Tribe need to be thinking in this situation and what options they need to be weighing.

I have seen nothing on Fausto Carmona yet. He was supposed to be evaluated today. I'm sure Castrovince will blog it sooner or later.
