Matt Lyons’s Prediction: UNDER
Even before Cleveland started amassing major-league-ready middle infielders, I would have taken the under on Yu Chang’s projected statline. Now that they have Amed Rosario, Andrés Giménez, Owen Miller, César Hernández, Mike Freeman, Tyler Freeman, Brayan Rocchio, and Gabriel Arias at least potentially competing for the utility role, I wouldn’t be surprised if Yu Chang does not take a single at-bat with Cleveland this season.
