Indians Hire Buck Showalter

Yep...The Indians will announce tomorrow they've hired Buck Showalter to be a special assistant to manager Eric Wedge and GM Mark Shapiro.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer Blog, Showalter will help in player development and player acquisition (in an advising form).

Cool Re: Indians Hire Buck Showalter

I think this is a bad move. Either fire Wedge and hire Showalter or don't bring Showalter in at all. It's never a good thing to have a hyena waiting for the axe to fall.

Thumbs up Re: Indians Hire Buck Showalter

For now let Wedge lead this team but if he can't produce "The Buck" will stop here and it will be a Goodyear especially when the Tribe moves Spring Training in 2009 to AZ.

Hey, there. Take a minute to sign up!

The Tribe should be an interesting organization in a few years from now. Going through highs and lows, the Indians shall prevail.
