Clubhouse confidential: Infielder Mark DeRosa has heard the trade talk. Rumors have been circulating for a few weeks that he might be traded as the Indians try to improve their big-league pitching staff.
One may think that DeRosa, 34, and a veteran of eight years in the big leagues, would be used to such talk. It's not the case.
"I remember when the Cubs traded me to Cleveland over the winter, I had no idea it was happening," DeRosa said. "I'd heard my name mentioned in the Jake Peavy talks, but that had all died down.
"It's not something you get used to. I just try not to think about it."
Mike & Mike: Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg will do their ESPN "Mike & Mike" radio show today from 6 to 10 a.m. on the party deck in right field at Progressive Field. Mike Golic went to St. Joseph High School and Notre Dame.
Stat of the day: Here are the Indians' top five pitchers in franchise history, ranked by winning percentage: Cliff Lee, .639; Bartolo Colon, .625; Addie Joss, .623; Wes Ferrell, .622; and Bob Feller, .621. Pitchers had to have at least 1,000 innings to qualify.
