GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Bryan Shaw is searching for someone to toss his football with over at the Rockies' camp. Indians manager Terry Francona is in need of a new daily cribbage partner. Every spring, teams adjust to having players in new uniforms, but Cleveland is dealing with a major change.
For the past five years, Shaw was a constant part of the Tribe's environment. The right-hander earned a reputation as one of the most durable setup men in the game, and more than earned the trust of Francona. That, in turn, earned Shaw a lucrative free-agent contract this past offseason, leaving an empty locker that could be challenging for Cleveland to fill.
