The Top 25 Cleveland Indians in 2017 countdown had to reach Carlos Santana eventually.
Santana comes in at No. 5 on the list, reminding fans just how valuable he was. He finished the year slashing .259/.363/.455 and slugged 23 home runs.
Santana never put up legendary numbers. Instead, he provided consistency at any spot in the lineup and several in the field.
We have covered multiple angles of his departure this offseason, and all fans can hope now is that Yonder Alonso comes in and provides similar production to what Santana did in Cleveland for seven full seasons.
