On June 15, 2007, the Chicago Cubs selected 20-year old SP Orlando "Biceps" Silva with the third overall pick in the amateur draft. Three days later the Cleveland Indians obtained Silva for six players.

Silva seemed to have it all: high upside (20/79 rating), 96-98 MPH velocity, four pitches, a strong Work Ethic (16), the top Leadership rating (20) and a world of potential.

Like the Cubs, the Indians started Silva at A ball, and he quickly zipped through...

2007: A Contender Emerges

One of my first trades was to dump the salary of aging CL Joe Borowski, sending him with a minor league SS to the SF Giants for a RP I prized, Brian Wilson. As throw-ins, I also obtained SS Emanuel...
