Indians minor-league pitcher Trevor Bauer is rapping again, this time about his Indians teammates -- at least the ones in the majors.

The Indians are going from the "gutter" to the holy "grail," to hear it from starting pitcher Trevor Bauer, in his latest rap.
Bauer wrote and recorded the song for the Indians fan blog, Wahoo's on First, recently, so they could use it for the intro to their podcast.
Here's the YouTube audio of the one-minute, 39-second number:
Bauer, 22, has made three starts this season for the Indians and pitched to a 2.76 ERA, but he's currently in Triple-A. Not that him writing a song about the big boys from the minors bothered his teammates.
"More power to him,'' said reliever Joe Smith, who is mentioned. "He's obviously passionate about music, so why not? There's enough negativity in this world. This is something positive. I love it.''
Then Smith smiled.
"But don't think he's not going to hear about it when he gets back up here,'' Smith said.
Not only that, but Mark Reynolds made "Gutter to the Grail" his walk-up music for his at-bats.
This isn't Bauer's first foray into music, as he also released something that my colleague Dayn Perry called "rather crappy" back in February.
