That's not good news for the Indians, who have been anticipating that the young slugger's power bat can help the club get back to winning after a very disappointing 2009. LaPorta will need four to six months to recover from the operations that were performed Tuesday in Vail, Colo. http://indians.scout.com/2/909161.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/909161.html Wed, 14 Oct 2009 21:19:00 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for OF Matt LaPorta http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=885695&nid=4209146&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=885695&nid=4209146&fhn=1 Fri, 07 Aug 2009 13:34:07 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians About all Indians fans have to look forward to in 2009 is the last out of the final game. Then this most disappointing season will be over. Until then, however, the Indians would be wise to promote some players from the minors and jettison the castoffs they have added to the big-league roster such as Winston Abreu. Andy Marte deserves another look and Matt LaPorta should get some big-league ABs. http://indians.scout.com/2/881598.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/881598.html Fri, 24 Jul 2009 15:51:00 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for OF Matt LaPorta http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=861363&nid=4209146&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=861363&nid=4209146&fhn=1 Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:03:41 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Luis Valbuena hit a two-run homer and Matt LaPorta had a solo shot Saturday night to help power Columbus to a 6-3 win over visiting Indianapolis. David Huff pitched six innings for the win and veteran Matt Herges, the fourth pitcher used by Clippers manager Torey Lovullo, worked the ninth for his third save. LaPorta also had an RBI triple and went 3-for-3 with a walk to put his average at .404. http://indians.scout.com/2/860049.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/860049.html Sun, 26 Apr 2009 01:44:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians The Akron Aeros will be seeking a little revenge Tuesday night when they open the best-of-five Eastern League Championship Series against Trenton. A year ago, the Thunder topped the favored Aeros in four games for the title. Akron is in the finals for the fourth year in a row and fifth time in the last six years. The Aeros won it all in 2003 and 2005 and lost in the finals the last two years. http://indians.scout.com/2/788626.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/788626.html Tue, 09 Sep 2008 12:57:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Travis Hafner and Matt LaPorta are giving Indians fans a little look at the future. The two sluggers each homered again Saturday night to help Akron defeat Bowie, 5-1, sending the Aeros into the Double-A Eastern League Championship Series. Akron won the series in four games to claim its fourth straight South Division title and will face the North Division champion Trenton Thunder for the title. http://indians.scout.com/2/787756.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/787756.html Sun, 07 Sep 2008 03:35:00 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for OF Matt LaPorta http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=786647&nid=3832334&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=786647&nid=3832334&fhn=1 Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:57:15 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians The roster for the USA Olympic Team was announced earlier this week. The following minor leaguers will travel to Beijing to represent their country at the 2008 Olympic Games. The group is filled with an interesting mix of stud prospects and career minor leaguers, all of whom have one goal: to take home the gold. http://rays.scout.com/2/771787.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/771787.html Thu, 24 Jul 2008 08:12:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Matt LaPorta is taking his game to the international stage as he has been named to play for the U.S. Olympic Team next month in China. LaPorta is one of at least four players from the Indians' minor-league system going to Beijing. Reliever Jeff Stevens of the Buffalo Bisons will join LaPorta on Team USA. Representing Canada will be Akron reliever T.J. Burton and Kinston outfielder Nick Weglarz. http://indians.scout.com/2/769853.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/769853.html Thu, 17 Jul 2008 02:50:00 GMT 0 264 Cleveland indians Hot News for OF Matt LaPorta http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=768215&nid=3832334&fhn=1 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/a.z?s=264&p=9&c=2&cid=768215&nid=3832334&fhn=1 Thu, 10 Jul 2008 05:14:59 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians Milwaukee officially added C.C. Sabathia to its starting rotation on Thursday, sending three prospects—slugging minor league outfielder Matt LaPorta highlights the group—to the Cleveland Indians. With the addition of Sabathia, are the Brewers now the Wild Card favorite? http://rays.scout.com/2/767846.html 2047 Tyler Hissey http://rays.scout.com/2/767846.html Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:51:00 GMT 0 322 Tampa Bay rays Former Gator slugger Matt LaPorta is on his way to Cleveland content in the knowledge that he was the key piece in a trade that involved a Cy Young Award winner. LaPorta heads up a four player package the Milwaukee Brewers gave up for one of the top pitchers in the game today. The trade should be a goods thing both for LaPorta and the Florida Gators. http://florida.scout.com/2/767582.html 2047 Larry Vettel http://florida.scout.com/2/767582.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 22:16:00 GMT 1 168 Florida florida The Indians are getting a lot of potential in return for C.C. Sabathia. So says a scout for another MLB team who is familiar with the Milwaukee Brewers farm system. The Tribe got slugger Matt LaPorta, left-hander Zach Jackson, right-hander Rob Bryson and either infielder Taylor Green or outfielder Mike Brantley as a player to be named. It could be a good deal, if two or three of them develop. http://indians.scout.com/2/767416.html 2047 Chuck Murr http://indians.scout.com/2/767416.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 05:49:00 GMT 1 264 Cleveland indians Former Gator Matt LaPorta will be on the move after being part of the biggest deal in Major League Baseball so far this season. The Cleveland Indians are shipping last year's Cy Young Award winner C.C. Sabathia to Milwaukee in exchange for LaPorta. http://florida.scout.com/2/767357.html 2047 Chris Chmielenski http://florida.scout.com/2/767357.html Mon, 07 Jul 2008 01:46:00 GMT 0 168 Florida florida
