it

it cant hurt Cleveland anymore to have him up and pitching. Who know, maybe he becomes lights out and they can flip him in a trade. If not, well, they can protect some arms by using him as a mop up guy.
And with the Twins paying most of his salary, its a win-win for the Tribe

Agreed. Actually, it's the perfect storm...

... because Cleveland has nothing to lose, and Rincon might just pitch fine in that atmosphere, but I for one ma so happy to be rid of his plague…that’s all I can say. When Cleveland really needs him to be lights out, when things matter to Indian fans, THAT is the moment they are going to be saying, “I can’t believe that just happened to us.”

"I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. See, my mule don't like people laughing. He gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it . . ."
