Cleveland Indians: What Will Abraham Almonte’s Role be in 2017?

It’s 2017 boys and girls, and you know what that means—Abraham Almonte will be getting back into the swing of things with the Cleveland Indians.

Well, hopefully.

Almonte was sorely missed during the first half of 2016 after being suspended in late February of last year due to testing positive for the performance enhancer known as Boldenone. The steroid, known to (usually) be given to horses, sent him to the restricted list for a full 80 games, and took away his chances at postseason play.

He was supposed to fill in the spot that Michael Brantley left when he headed to the DL.
