Interesting, Pluto had a quote along those exact lines from Tito today:
We were kind of in the mode where there wasn’t a chance to see him (Jesus Aguilar) play. We weren’t sure if he could play or not...now, there are a few guys, we want to see if they can do it.
The Indians obviously have not forgotten that Aguilar made the All-Star team after they let him walk. Now he says "there are a few guys" in the same situation and the Indians are thinking we don't want to make that mistake again. Off the top of my head my guess is that group consists of Bradley, Chang, Luplow, Mercado, Zimmer, Amed Rosario, and Daniel Johnson. Also Quantrill as a starter. Obviously they aren't going to be giving all of them everyday starting jobs, but they will all be playing everyday IMO, either in Cleveland or Columbus.
Another Francona quote:
We like Yu Chang, we really do...We’d like to give him some everyday at-bats and see where it takes him. There’s a lot of talent in there.
So I'm thinking they're done dealing and will roll with what they have with the exception of needing a lefty in the pen. I'm all in on Gimenez, at least for one year, so Rosario for a LOOGY would suit me just fine.
As for the rest of them, I don't think Bradley, Chang or Zimmer can hit big league pitching but I would like to see Mercado, Luplow, and Johnson get at least 300 at-bats with the big club this year even if it costs us some wins. It would yield valuable information to make decisions going forward as we hopefully get in position to gradually increase the payroll over the next few years.
