Yes, I guess the title is a rhetorical question. We know Sal Fasano. He's the 'Jake Taylor' of the Cleveland Indians. The character Tom Berenger played in 'Major League.'
When he came up from AAA, everyone did say 'who is he?'
But from the getgo, he showed his spirit, his knowledge of the game, and his leadership.
Just watch him. You'll see. When he is catching a game, such as today's with Fausto Carmona on the mound, he took charge. He called a pretty good game. When Fausto got a little wild or there were shoddy defensive plays that 'could' have rattled Fausto, he marched on out there and gave him a pep talk.
He does not play much, so when he does he wants to make a statement. His bat made one today. He was a few feet away from a homer...and had another solid hit in the game. While standing on third base with the bases loaded, he loudly cheered on Franklin Gutierrez up at the plate.
The Indians are a team of strapping players with heart, drive, guts, and talent. If we are not the most talented team in the league, it's the other attributes which can help carry us a long way! Don't give up on them just yet. This team DOES want to play and they DO want to win!
