To hear him say it, Lonnie Chisenhall hasn’t exactly had the storybook career.
He doesn’t have the type of story that, say, shortstop Francisco Lindor is currently writing, that of the top prospect who comes into the big leagues and takes much of the baseball world by storm at the top of the Indians’ lineup. Chisenhall has never enjoyed that kind of footing at the major league level.
His path hasn’t been that clear, either. He’s had chances. He’s offered glimmers of hope and real potential. But he never could latch onto an everyday job or force the Indians’ hand.
