"'When you have the core of what you think can be a championship team,' general manager Mark Shapiro said, 'you don't want to waste any part of that window.' For the Indians, though, the window for 2006 closed early. Very early. So early, in fact, that by the All-Star break, the Tribe had already begun the process of unloading its veterans and thinking about next season." - Sportswriter Anthony Castrovince on MLB.com (10/02/2006)
