Indians fans are understandably excited about Franciso Mejia. He has been a prolific hitter over the past two seasons and rates as a plus defender behind the plate. With Bradley Zimmer in the Majors, Mejia is now Cleveland's No. 1 prospect (per MLBPipeline.com) and will be playing in the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on Sunday
You bring up an appropriate point, though. While Mejia is rising fast in stock and Minor League level, both of the Indians' big league catchers, Yan Gomes and Roberto Perez, are signed to multi-year contracts.
