Mad Max Making Moves

| Jeff Miller

Max Moroff is not being treated like a prospect as an Indian. Why? Age and need are cited but his glove could keep him in play instead of Kipnis once Lindor is back…especially come August. Max Moroff and another extra middle infielder, probably Flaherty, will make the team.

Initially it was sort of an open competition with anywhere from 1-3 up for middle infielders to take. It morphed in and out of that same thing as spring and Lindor have progressed. What we know is we should see Moroff and Kipnis with Ramirez at third and a combination of Santana Bauer and maybe a third mostly dh or outfielder over at first.

Perez looks sharp at catcher. However second carcher does not look good. Plawecki Haase and otjers have all struggled and despite that numbers have wittled down to Plawecki and Haase left to battle it out: it will be more like the team is frawing straws to see who they get stuck with though. Plawecki is out of options so it will likely be him making the team.

Spring in Arizona rolls on.

Spending Woes Doom Seats

The Indians wamt to do right. They also will tend to tell the truth all little too much when asked just right. That is what just occurred.

Early in the week mr Dolan stated his in great in continues his underspemding ways. This is much to the dismay of the team the players and the fans.

1-9 Between them Line

The Indians are good. They have playoffed the couple last years. Been good they have. But will it last? How good is enough of good? Let go see this now.

The season is in preview mode still as spring is not yet but yet there is now spring ball. The Indians of shortstop Lindor and center fielder Zimmer are still in recovery.

So who is one through nine? For now, probably this:

  1. Roberto Perez C
  2. Greg Allen OF*
  3. Tyler Naquin OF
  4. Max Moroff S*
  5. Jason Kipnis 2B
  6. Jake Bauers OF*
  7. Carlos Santana 1B
  8. Hanley Ramirez DH
  9. Jose Ramirez 3B
  10. (Kevin Plewecki C2)
  11. (Leonys Martin OF4)
  12. (Ryan Flaherty 2B2)
  13. (Eric Stamets SS2)
