Are we sure Lindor makes the roster? I mean it is an open competition in spring training.
Quick check of the stats says he’s hitting 0.00. Does he have options left?

Indians won’t announce it publicly (being vague with injuries will be a common thing now after the Brantley situation), but Lindor is very close.
He’s running, hitting, fielding, taking some live BP on the back fields, etc. Still some things to work out, but he’s close.
Just to expand on this, since Cleveland Twitter is focusing on some other event I guess...
Lindor played in his first game today. Can find it all over Twitter, but obviously OBJ is overshadowing a bit. As did Zimmer. Little rusty, but sounds like him and Zimmer responded well afterwards which is the most important thing right now.
Why have them play a minor league game in spring training? To keep it under the radar?

Joyce seemed like a long shot after Hanley was added and Naquin seemed like the heavy favorite for the RF spot

Hows the bullpen looking.
Not sure I’m up for what we witnessed last year.
You know Bieber is part of the starting rotation, right?Honestly most of the contenders for the bullpen have a sub 2 ERA for the spring. Bieber has been the best pitcher overall this spring then it’s been Edwards.
Going by numbers, the 5 to make the bullpen would be Edwards (0.00-7.2 IP, 10k), Olson (1.42-6.2 IP, 8k), Cimber (1.08-8.1 IP, 8k), Wilson (2.16-8.1 IP, 7k), and Otero (1.50-6 IP, 6k).
Starting the season, it’s possible we are keeping 4 starters and 8 BP arms then sending someone down when we need our 5th starter. I am expecting 12 pitchers to start the season, but that hasn’t been announced yet.
Neil Ramírez at the moment is on the outside looking in and could be cut (out of options). Martinez has put himself on the short list of call ups. Clippard will likely start the season with the Clippers and will either make our team when healthy or get an MLB job elsewhere more than likely.
Anderson will start the season at AAA as a starter and seems like Goody is going down as well.
