There’s not much conclusive news about Chris Perez right now, and that took some of the wind out of our sails. Still, we had a conversation about a lot of the “what ifs” before getting into the real meat of the Indians’ troubles right now as they work through the hardest part of their schedule so far this season.

so here’s my response to Craig’s 10,000 foot view, aka “gimme a break, it’s just pot”: Perez knows purchasing in bulk via mail is illegal (in all states, btw), he knows the MLB will suspend him for quite a while and he knows his teammates are counting on him. This is just selfishness. As in creating yet another distraction from the team mission to win. There’s lots a good teammate doesn’t do even if it is legal: complain constantly, sleep with a teammate’s fiance, lots of stuff.
The team doesn’t get a 10,000 foot view. Perez is high maintenance and exhausting. They could very well have just lost the chance to seriously compete this year, when the bullpen is already reeling. But no worries, Chris. Pot should be legal, man, everyone knows that.
