Young Indians' arms getting work at instructs

If there was one knock on the Cleveland Indians' farm system headed into the season, it was that it lacked young, high-ceiling arms.

That changed in a hurry in this past June when the Indians used their first three picks on prep pitchers Brady Aiken (No. 17 overall), Triston McKenzie (No. 42 overall, Competitive Balance A round) and Juan Hillman (No. 59 overall, second round).

"To define a Draft as what the strength is, or what the strength isn't, isn't necessarily the right way to do it," Indians director of amateur scouting Brad Grant told MLB.com following the Draft.
