Mr. Ocker:
In my opinion, The brass should not worry about signing C.C. Sabathia due to the facts of the past performances of their ace. In my 30-some years in baseball — playing, coaching and managing — I know the difference in a pitcher and a thrower. C.C. can be a good pitcher, however, iff something diverts his attention and he looses his concentration he becomes a thrower and he is then no more than a second-rate player. In all his past, this will bear out!
One of the biggest mistakes of the Indians management was to make him the team ace at such a young age and so little experience. Unless C.C. changes his mind of the game, he isn't worth a new contract or even a raise. Nuff said.
Larry CarterHendersonville, N.C.Dear Larry:
I agree with one thing — 'Nuff said.
Despite your decades of experience, I'm not sure how much you know about baseball. But one thing is obvious: While you were dazzling them on the field, you skipped far too many English classes.

Socker:
I notice you stick up for this guy Wedge, no matter what he does to mess the team up. Now he's telling Shapiro to demote Francisco and Gutierrez? What a joke! No wonder this team has no chance. And this team's idea of pitching befuddles me.

Cuyahoga FallsDear Paul:
I can tell that you're easily befuddled.
S.O.Socker:
I see you keep sticking up for Wedge Head, even as he shows he knows nothing. Now he's telling Shapiro that Lee is the answer? What a joke! And this Marte is showing he belongs but you watch the Indians trade him, and he'll go Brandon Phillips on us. This team befuddles me.
Paul OlesCuyahoga FallsDear Paul:
You again. Was this twice in one day? No wonder I got a call from the Computer Police. I've heard of people with a limited vocabulary, but you're the first person I've seen who only knows a few sentences.
S.O.
