October is around the corner, the Indians are not.......

"Highly" touted prospect Chris Gimenez continues to get at-bats over Andy Marte at 1st base. I really can't explain this. Marte has finally been destroying the ball in triple A for a full season. The Indians call him up after trading both Victor Martinez and Ryan Garko, one would think that this clear an apparent path for Marte to play 1st since manager Eric Wedge will not play him at 3rd base. But instead we get to see the likes of Gimenez.

Another blow to Marte:
Matt LaPorta finally got called up because of the injury to OF Trevor Crowe and Wedge stated that LaPorta would get regular playing time and see time at 1st base again pushing Marte to the back of the line.

It would be a shame to see Marte play well for another team, he is still young and has a decent amount of upside but one would never know unless he is given playing time.

What happened to Josh Barfield?????
