The Columbus Clippers roster offers little hope for the Cleveland Indians

Since the Columbus Clippers became the triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians in 2009, they have made the Triple-A championship game on four occasions, winning the title twice in 11 seasons played as part of the Cleveland Indians organization.

That team success for the Clippers has been driven by great development of the Indians’ top prospects, as well as astute signings of veteran players to minor league contracts. Both categories of players have made an impact on the big league club over the years, especially during a recent stretch where the Tribe has been perennial contenders for a postseason berth.
