As their 68-94 season drew to a close, the Indians fired manager Manny Acta,
then quickly replaced him with former Red Sox skipper Terry Francona.
While Francona puts a fresh face in the dugout, there's little Acta could
have done given the players at his disposal. Cleveland ranked 22nd in
baseball in runs scored, but the pitching was worse as only the Rockies
allowed more runs.
The Indians have struggled to add talent in recent years, most notably
through the market for amateur players. While Jason Kipnis has proven to be
an excellent use of a second-round pick in 2009, the draft continues to be an
area that has provided little help.
Vinnie Pestano (20th round, 2006) and Tony Sipp (45th round, 2004) have been
useful relievers and Cody Allen (23rd round, 2011) made a rapid rise to join
them in the big league bullpen, but years of missing on first-round picks and
getting little from the later rounds have hampered Cleveland. Further
development from 2008 first-rounder Lonnie Chisenhall would represent a major
draft breakthrough, but he has hit .260/.295/.421 and played substandard
defense in the majors the last two years.
The international market also has been a dry spot. Former Latin American
director Rene Gayo (now with the Pirates) helped the team add Roberto
Hernandez, Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta, among others. The Indians'
more recent forays into international waters have yet to deliver any impact
players
Other than Hernandez and Rafael Perez, the only other international free
agent Cleveland signed and had on its 2012 team was nondescript Jeanmar
Gomez. The Indians hope that Chen Lee perhaps can offer some relief help in
2013 after losing 2012 to Tommy John surgery.
Former GM and current club president Mark Shapiro helped build his reputation
on trades that landed such players as Asdrubal Cabrera, Shin-Soo Choo, Travis
Hafner, Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips, Carlos Santana and Grady Sizemore. But
Shapiro received little in return when he traded C.C. Sabathia in 2008 and
Lee in 2009, a major reason why the team hasn't had a winning season since
blowing a 3-1 lead in the 2007 American League Championship Series. Matt
LaPorta, the centerpiece of the Sabathia trade, has been a bust, though
Michael Brantley did emerge as a solid regular in 2012. Carlos Carrasco, who
missed 2012 after Tommy John surgery. is the last hope to salvage much value
from the Lee deal.
Making the opposite move, trading prospects in exchange for a supposed ace,
also has turned sour. With the Indians contending in mid-2011, GM Chris
Antonetti traded his two best young arms to the Rockies as part of a
four-player package for Ubaldo Jimenez. Neither Drew Pomeranz and Alex White
has done much in Colorado yet, but Jimenez has gone 13-21, 5.32 in 42 starts
for Cleveland.
The Indians did get value when they traded Austin Kearns in 2010, getting
Zach McAllister from the Yankees. He had a 4.24 ERA in 22 major league starts
in 2012.
If the Indians are counting on help from the minors, impact talent is still
at least a couple of years away. Francisco Lindor is a potential all-star and
fellow shortstop Dorssys Paulino may be the best international player they've
signed since Peralta in 1999. But neither has played above low Class A, nor
has 2012 first-rounder Tyler Naquin, and beyond them the system is thin.0
