The Cleveland Indians are just 3-7 in Cactus League play but wins and losses in spring training matter as much as preseason wins and losses in the NFL. The real substance of these games is assessing where certain players are with their development, and getting the regulars ready for the next 162-plus.
Prospects that get invited to spring relish the opportunity to show their big league club what they have. Not all prospects get the opportunity, however, so those that do must seize it when it comes.
The Indians have quite a few minor league prospects in camp with them and some have played a bit over the first couple weeks of spring.
