This is what happens when you can't score runs. You can't draft any talent and no-one wants to come to Cleveland in free agency, then you need to get EXCELLENT quality hitters out of your trades. As is, the Indians have a bunch of crap quality (LaPorta and the list goes on), a couple average players (Brantley, Chisenhall), and two guys who appear to be above average but are extremely early in their careers(Kipnis, Santana). Then you've got Asdrubal and Choo who are above average, but not impact quality players that can change the fortunes of your franchise.
