Catching up time: 6-2-08: Recalled RHP Tom Mastny from Buffalo (AAA) Optioned 1B Michael Aubrey to Buffalo (AAA) Released RHP Jorge Julio (DFAd on 5-28-08) Even with Travis Hafner going on the DL, Aubrey wasn't going to get any playing time, and even if he did, it would probably be at the expense of Andy Marte. Besides, the Indians needed the extra arm because Jake Westbrook had just come down with...

According to Tim Pearrell, the Braves have signed reliever Jorge Julio to a minor league deal. Julio may not contribute much at the big league level, but Frank Wren is probably just trying to add depth. Fortunately, Mike Gonzalez may finish his rehab assignment soon.

I'm guessing this is more grasping at straws. First Brian Lawrence, and now the rarely effective Jorge Julio. Julio started the season with the Cleveland Indians before being designated for assignment on May 28th. He can be dominant at times, but he's also one of those guys who is prone to completely falling apart in certain situations. He was a closer for most of his big league career, mainly with...

While I was under the impression that Jake Westbrook would simply jump in to the vacated roster spot of now-injured Fausto Carmona, it appears that the Tribe brass has seen enough of one Jorge Julio. From Indians.com: Just a few days after praising Jorge Julio as one of the best arms in the bullpen, manager Eric Wedge [...]

Rangers 13, Indians 9 (box) Too little, too late. I guess. The bats finally come alive, but it isn't enough to make up for the pitching that allowed an amazing 17 hits by the Texas Rangers. As I mentioned here, it's unfortunate that Fausto Carmona is pegged with the loss after Jorge Julio gave up five earned [...]

“The Indians are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. They appear to be beating the crap out of each other.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1FwU2R9iUc In the middle of the Indians melt down at the hands of the White Sox, Jorge Julio and Victor Martinez had a disagreement on the mound. No fists were thrown unfortunately. [...]

Boston: 5, Cleveland 3 The box score of the Tribe pitching staff says it all. Paul Byrd tosses six solid innings, nearly cutting his ERA in half, and the bullpen proceeds to allow four runs in three innings. Special shoutout to Jorge Julio who will look to actually retire a batter during his next appearance, [...]
