Looks like Clement will be an Angel. According to WTAM 1100AM in Cleveland Clement's agent is claiming his client has narrowed the choices to Cleveland and Anaheim.

We all know that is so the Angels will up their bid a few pennies more and Cleveland can say they couldn't afford him.

Clement IMO is better than Pavano, Radke, or Odalis Perez, and on the same plane as Benson and Milton (perhaps better), so IF the Tribe do get Matt, I think they may have landed a pretty good starter.

Speaking of the AL Central, word going around the Cleveland media is there are 2 reason Ilitch has money to spend on the Tigers and make them a contender, those reasons:

1) Money unspent on his Redwings.

2) He is building up the Tigers to sell them.

While 1 to me sounds kind of ridiculous (the NHL owners lose money if there is no season, right?) 2 sounds more believable. I do hope it is 2 and Ilitch finds a buyer fast, Dolan sees this and does the same to the Indians.
