I get it.... MELOAN, FINALLY!

"I understood that I'd be limited when I came up," said Meloan. "The last couple of years I've pitched out of the bullpen. This year I've thrown about twice as many innings so they want to be careful.

"It shows me they care about my arm." (Plain Dealer)

I get it.. He was a starter this year and hes logged a lot of innings.

Still.. They waited way too long to get this guy in there.. How about that debut? Two punchouts and he is the MAN!

I've been impatiently waiting for him to be thrown in there.

I like this guy going forward.. I'm going to be doing a lot of projecting and predicting here in the off-season as we add or don't add players in positions.. I feel good about his chances.. I think there's going to be open competition in that bullpen. My early thought or idea is to sign a guy like Jason Isringhausen, who many said are done, but who he himself feels like he has some left in the tank and is looking for an incentive laden based deal. You bring him in and say, okay you and Jensen, better guy gets the job... I really think and feel strongly about Jensen's long term future at closer and bringing in a guy like Izzy would be a way to say.. Alright Jensen, be on standby because the minute t his dude goes down, if he goes down, its your job.

That leaves a few other spots.. I can see us bringing back both Donnelly and Rincon on those incentive like deals because we gave them chances.. Give them a shot to win jobs.. Guys like Rundles or Mastny (if we don't need the 40 man roster spots), Meloan and of course Adam Miller would be in the mix..

Anyway.. MELOAN!

Love this kid, glad to see him get in there.

Laying off on Eric Wedge after the way he played the double header.. Gave JP a game off, played Carroll at 2nd and was starting to FREAK OUT MAN.. He got Barfield in there though and Marte TWO Starts, TWO! Holy Cow!

He did pinch hit Marte late though, jerk..

Ill die off on that though, he handled the DH well.

Even though we got pounded.. Ouch..
