Final Cuts in Cleveland
Teepee Talk lists the final players to make the opening day roster for the Cleveland Indians.
Most surprisingly, Danny Graves won the final bullpen spot, beating out Jason Davis and Steve Karsay. The article mentions Graves has regained his fastball and command of his sinker thanks to a "mechanical adjustment." That's fine, and I pray - pray - he does not repeat his 2005 season. After all, the last thing this team needs is a reincarnation of Jose Jimenez.
It's never good to give up a home run every four innings and a walk every other inning.

I don't know; I don't think "My name...Danny Graves." has the same ring.
