The 2015 season for the Cleveland Indians hasn’t been the success they hoped for, but still being in the race for the last Wild Card spot has to be considered a moral victory. Where they finish in that race is yet to be determined, but this year has led to the opportunity to see some changes in the roster as they look towards the future.
I’m leaving out what I consider the “obvious” picks–Michael Brantley, Jason Kipnis, Yan Gomes, most of the starters–because we know they will be a critical part of next year.
