After emerging as a surprisingly good right fielder in the second half of 2015, the only natural option was to leave him there in 2016. Maybe he would work out in a full-time role, maybe he wouldn’t. But the Cleveland Indians did not really have a choice. With Abraham Almonte suspended for the first 80 games, Marlon Byrd was pretty much the only option. And that didn’t last long.
So, how did it go? Well, it went... it went, that’s for sure.
Chisenhall finished the season having played 887 innings in right field and eight in center, mostly splitting time with Brandon Guyer when the Indians acquired him at the trade deadline.
