CLEVELAND -- The Indians are smack dab in the middle of a real contention window, in which winning the World Series is the primary focus. In recent years, highly touted prospects like Francisco Lindor, Bradley Zimmer and Tyler Naquin have ascended through the farm system to help the big league club in that quest.
As the core of Cleveland's Major League roster gets older, and contracts begin reaching expiration dates, the question becomes: Which current prospects can keep the window open in the future? MLB Pipeline's Top 100 prospects list is a great place to start, and the Indians have two players -- catcher Francisco Mejia and pitcher Triston McKenzie -- on the newest version of the rankings.
