An Early Look at the Indians Roster With Spring Training About a Month Away

Outfielders

Abraham Almonte
Michael Brantley
Lonnie Chisenhall
Brandon Guyer
Michael Martínez
Tyler Naquin

The biggest question mark of this entire roster is the comeback of Michael Brantley, and if he’s going to be 100 percent after a number of injuries that allowed him to just play 11 games last season with the Major League club. Of course the early fear is Brantley is going to be the next Grady Sizemore, a player with a ton of potential that couldn’t stay healthy.

The team was able to get along without him last season, but he’s in the plans to have an impact in 2017, and there’s little doubt that is he can be close to his 2015 numbers of .310 with 15 homers and 84 RBI, it’ll be a welcome sight.

As for the positions as they stand right now, without Rajai Davis on the team anymore, Almonte, Chisenhall, Guyer and Naquin will all get playing time, with Martinez being an option as well in a pinch.

For now, all eyes going into Goodyear will be on Brantley, as his comeback will be the biggest story of camp.
