The offensive output of the Cleveland Indians has been less than stellar this season.
They rank 15th in wRC+, 25th in runs, and 19th in offensive fWAR so far. It’s a bummer to watch, especially since it was supposed to be pure magic and might with the return of Michael Brantley and the arrival of Edwin Encarnacion. Many players are underperforming, but of glaring note is the leadoff position. Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis have been the principals in that role, and neither is having a particularly good season. This probably won't maintain.
