Smoke Signals 3/5: Pitching, pitching, and more pitching

Tonight on Smoke Signals, Paul and I will kickoff our Indians season preview. With only four shows left before the start of the season (thank God), we will be previewing each of the four segments of the team: the starting rotation, bullpen, outfielders, and infielders. First up tonight is the starting rotation, which is clearly the most concerning area of the team at this point. Here is the link to listen live or at any time after the show:

If anyone has a question in regard to the starting rotation that they would like addressed on the show, please e-mail us at smokesignals@theclevelandfan.com. You can also call in at 646-716-8012 during the show and talk with us about your question over the air. We have some stuff to give away tonight including some hats, T-shirts, books and more, so the first two callers tonight will get a prize of their choice.

Also, for the second half of the show we will be talking to Indians right-handed pitching prospect Steven Wright. Since being taken in the 2nd round of the draft out of Hawaii in 2006, Wright has moreoreless flown under the radar with the fans though he had a very good season last year in Kinston and Akron.

Next week (Thurs March 12th) we will continue our Indians season preview, this time focusing on one of the other areas, likely the bullpen. Also, baseball scout and former Baseball America writer Chris Kline is set to join the show and talk about the art of scouting. Should be a great show next week.

Also, I will be on the TV tomorrow (Friday March 6th) on SportsTime Ohio to talk about Tribe prospects. Exact time is not known yet, but sometime in the afternoon between 4-5 o'clock.
