Roster moves need to be made.

Grady Sizemore can't play centerfield everyday with his nagging elbow injury and surgery is still a very real possibility at this point(and if that's true then he needs to be shut down and operated on now, not at the end of the season). Given Sizemore's status the team needs Ben Francisco to play CF everytime Sizemore is the DH. On these days we get to watch Ryan Garko or Chris Gimenez play the outfield! This is ridiculous that this is still happening. Why is Matt LaPorta still in Columbus when he could be getting regular at-bats. Let Francisco be the fourth outfielder and play only when Sizemore is not in CF. LaPorta can then be the everyday leftfielder.

Bring up Andy Marte as well, Jhonny Peralta is in the same boat as Francisco right now. Given a starting job and doing nothing with it. Time to move on and get some other guys at bats since we are not winning anything.

I also think Josh Barfield should be up here instead of Luis Valbuena. I think it's interesting how much they love Valbuena but hated Brandon Phillips and Marte when they couldn't perform offensively. Why is Valbuena different???

Also, try and trade Carl Pavano. He won't be back next year.

I think Jamey Carroll should be signed for a couple more years instead of dealt. He provides a lot of insurance for a young infield with a lot of question marks. I have a feeling that the Indians are going to have a very weak offseason and pitching will be the main focus. So the position players will be almost what you see now, making Carroll that much more important. Plus he doesn't have an extremely high trade value since he is more of a piece and not an everyday player but one could assume that any National League team would love to have him on their bench.
