    Has Jim Thome gone to the Cleveland Indians? I saw something in the last hour that says it's happened.

    Travis Hafner is currently on the DL. They suggest Thome could replace him as the DH.

    He still has power left in his bat and they are still in the division race.

    Retirement move? You mean after this season?

    Yeah and Thome's .240avg, 12 HRs, and 40 RBI's are going to give them that push they need to secure a playoff spot?

    At this point and stage in the season, it's probably the only thing they could get to replace Hafner.

    I really hope Jim Thome can help get the Indians to the post season. They have a great story line

    I just read the Phillies tried to get him as a bat off the bench, instead they got some bum from Pittsburgh.
