The Indians going with Byrd is a bad decision. CC on three days rest gives them a much better chance to win than Byrd. If this series goes to 5 then the Indians plan on using Sabathia and Fausto Carmona on Wednesday. With the ALCS starting Friday that could mean that neither Carmona nor Sabathia are ready for the first couple of games. If they start Sabathia tonight and win then Carmona goes game 1 of ALCS and Sabathia game 2 both on full rest or more. If they lose that game they can still go Carmona in Cleveland on Wednesday with full rest and in the ALCS Sabathia game 2 and 5 or 6 and , Carmona game 3 and 6 or 7 and use a combo of Westbrook and Rafael Perez to give themselves a chance to win game 1. If Byrd wins tonight then this is a pointless thread but I doubt that Byrd will beat the Yankees tonight. Eric Wedge is making a very bad decision, imho.
