The 2015 Cleveland Indians

[MD13]

I'm hoping for Zach Walters just for the pure outrage that would follow

Here comes the outrage...

Per Rosenthal, the Indians will be promoting Zach Walters to replace Jose Ramirez.

Here comes the outrage...

And I was joking too because I thought there was no way they would actually do that.

Guess people in here haven't been following the minors too closely? Lindor has been banged up and isn't playing at 100% right now. Guy missed a few games just a few days ago because he couldn't play. Just not the right time, but the right time is coming.

The lineup will be interesting to see. I'd guess something along these lines to start:

L-2B-Kipnis
S-1B-Santana
L-LF-Brantley
L-RF-Moss
R-C-Gomes
S-DH-Swisher
R-3B-Urshela
L-CF-Bourn
S-SS-Lindor

A few things I notice immediately:

- The lineup is a lot more balanced than the one we started the year with
- The left side of the infield will be very, very good defensively
- RF is our only spot in the field with a poor defender now

 

[CavsRules]

Is he expected to start the final game against Detroit on Sunday?

Obviously he's not going to come out and hit .300 right away, but his defense will be a great sight.

 

[Real Deal]

Take Swisher out and put in Murph-dog. Way more deserving, or Raburn.

 

[Ohio]

Can't wait to see Lindor tomorrow.

Would be interesting to see if he can establish a spot atop the lineup, letting them move Santana back would add even more balance.

Meh. Santanas on base ability fits in best in the no. 2 hole. Would much rather see Lindor take off in the no. 9 spot, that way Kipnis, Santana and Brantley will have someone to drive in.
