Not every player on a baseball team is a star.
Heck, not every player on a baseball team is good, unless you’re the Astros or something. But the length of the season, the weird quirks and platoons and unfortunate oopsies that fill the game, these all make a team have to roll out a player that makes even the most die-hard fan scratch their heads, wondering “who the hell is this guy?” For the Indians, that guy is Mike Freeman.
Journeyman would be a compliment to the longtime minor leaguer, he’s a hot streak away from average as a hitter.
