Chris Assenheimer: Indians excel at developing star talent … for other teams
It stinks to be an Indians fan, doesn’t it? You watch your team develop players into superstars and then you watch them walk out the door. You saw it with Manny Ramirez when he left Cleveland to help the Red Sox win a pair of World Series titles. You saw it [...]

BETHESDA, Md. — Mark O’Meara saw the change in Anthony Kim seven months ago when he barely knew him. Kim had finished his rookie year on the PGA Tour with only a reputation, and not the kind a 22-year-old needed. No one questioned his talent, only his temper. He often spoke [...]
