Off topic but I wonder if the Indians ever kick themselves for keeping Carmona over Sabathia?

Wasn't it Carmona who got caught lying about age and name?


Wut? The highest the Indians paid Carmona was $6.3 million. The only player the Indians re-signed over that time period for a significant amount of money was Travis Hafner and Hafner's contract was only for 4 years, $57 million. Of course what the Indians should have done was re-sign Sabathia and simply let him opt out after the 2011 season.

What? In 08 the Indians had a choice resign Sabathia or save for Carmona. They were best 1-2 in MLB at the time. The Indians decided on Carmona traded Sabathia to Milwaukee.

Part of the reason was Carmona had more reasonable demands and if I remember correctly he was listed as younger. Yeah he turned out the be older but at the time he was considered younger.
