The first round of Spring Training cuts never holds many surprises. Of the names that the Cleveland Indians sent to minor league camp, none come as much of a surprise.
Bobby Bradley was the only player optioned to Triple-A Columbus today. Sam Hentges, who made a few Spring Training starts was optioned to Double-A Akron along with Jean Carlos Mejia. Shao-Ching Chang, Li Jen Chu, Ron Kaminsky, and R.C. Orlan we all designated to Minor League camp.
Maybe the biggest surprise is that first baseman Bradley was optioned so early in the spring.
