Wedge Issue:
Eric Wedge seems to be impressing the Cleveland fans:
The 35-year old Wedge worked the Tribe faithful into a partial lather Thursday afternoon at the R&L Recreation Center during the annual Indians Press Caravan stop. The major league's youngest skipper was joined by prospects John McDonald, Ben Broussard and Milton Bradley.
"I can't predict the future, but I feel like the Cleveland Indians are in a great place," Wedge said. "I'm in the loop on this (rebuilding) plan. I believe in it and I know that it's going to work ... I demand a lot from myself and I demand a lot from my players.
"I've done it at the minor-league level and I'm going to do it at the major-league level."
He clearly has enormous confidence. It will be interesting to see if he can transfer that to his players, and more importantly, into wins.
