Grade the Cleveland Indians offseason, Part I

This poll is simple: What grade would you give Mike Chernoff and the rest of the Cleveland Indians front office for their work so far in the offseason? The important thing to keep in mind with this grade is context. Sure, the Tribe have not made any huge trades or free agent signings, but neither has anyone else. All of the real offseason action will start happening next month, right now we are essentially in the planning phase.

So, with that in mind, how would you rate what the Indians have done so far? The "big" moves include things like adding Tyler Naquin, James Ramsey, Dylan Baker, Mike Clevinger, and Shawn Morimando to the 40-man roster in order to protect them from the Rule 5 draft, signing Shane Robinson, trading for Kirby Yates, and declining Ryan Raburn’s $3 million option.
