Indians chatter
Monday, August 22, 2005
Clubhouse confidential: Texas is shopping Phil Nevin, a right-handed hitter who can play third and first base and hit a 420-foot homer against the Tribe last week.
The Indians aren't interested because they feel Nevin's numbers are declining, and he will make $10 million next year.
Nevin, 34, is hitting .242 (86-for-355) with 11 homers and 52 RBI with San Diego and Texas.
Rivalry: Aaron Boone, who played three seasons at Southern Cal, passed a reporter in the Indians clubhouse who was wearing an Ohio State University T- shirt.
"Put your pompoms away," Boone said with a laugh.
Stat of the day: Coco Crisp went 0-for-5 and stranded seven runners on Coco Crisp bobblehead night Saturday.
