Latimore is settling in well with Indians organization
Change is inevitable in the game of professional baseball, and for Double-A Akron outfielder Quincy Latimore, the changes started from the bottom – literally.
Latimore, who was formerly a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization, was required to wear his pants down over his socks before he joined the Cleveland Indians’ farm system. Now, he’s done away with the high socks...
Indians offense went to work Wednesday, knocking off the Phillies 10-4 for their 22nd win of the season.
The Cleveland Indians offense decided it was time to get back to work. They took control of the game against the Phillies and gave them more of the same they faced when they visited Cleveland. The Indians were able to hit 3 home runs in the game. That was after Mark Reynolds got the scoring started for the Indians in the 3rd inning with a double to left that drove in Kipnis and Cabrera...
Around The Farm: May 15, 2013
Around the Farm takes a quick look at some of yesterday’s performances by Indians prospects throughout the system. The positions listed below are where the player was playing in yesterday’s game.
Anthony Santander (RF, Lake County): 3-for-5, 2 R, 1 RBI
It has been said that coverage of Santander has been lacking due to the lovefest for fellow up-and-comer Dorssys Paulino. As...
Indians easing Bauer into the show
Baby steps.
Indians' starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is taking baby steps with each start at the major league level.
Last season, the 22-year old Bauer was rushed to the big leagues by Arizona, barely a year removed from the 2011 MLB Draft. He made just four starts and went 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA before he was sidelined for the year with a groin issue.
After a three-team, nine-player...

Two separate MLB scouts have reportedly told Yahoo! Sports baseball columnist Jeff Passan that Cleveland’s Francisco Lindor may end up being the most highly-touted prospect in baseball by the end of 2013.

Chisenhall's demotion a necessary move
The Indians made their first significant roster change on Monday, optioning third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall to Triple-A Columbus.
The Indians have had to juggle the roster due to injuries, but the decision to option Chisenhall was the first roster decision based on performance.
The move did not come as a surprise as Chisenhall was hitting just .213 with three homers in 26 games....

Indians Trevor Bauer continues to show he is not quite ready for prime time yet.
Trevor Bauer continues to have problems in the big show. He got the start in game 2 of the traditional double-header the Indians played against the New York Yankees on Monday to make up the games they missed earlier this season. Bauer didn’t do as well as the Indians had hoped. He didn’t get any run support either. Bauer pitched 6-1/3 innings and he gave up 3 runs. Only 2 of...
Indians Demote Chisenhall, Call Up David Huff
I speculated about him this morning in the weekend recap, but the Indians have decided not to wait any longer to see if the struggling Lonnie Chisenhall would come around.
With the need for a long reliever during this doubleheader day, the Tribe’s third baseman of the present and the future was sent down to AAA Columbus this morning. Left-hander David Huff was promoted and added...

On Monday morning the Cleveland Indians announced that they have optioned struggling third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall to Triple-A Columbus and replaced him on the 25-man roster with left-handed pitcherDavid Huff.
Chisenhall, 24, was hitting just .213 with three homers, 11 RBI and .604 OPS in 26 games with the Indians this season. He had just three walks compared to 26 strikeouts...

Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis burned a hole in his pants when he stood too close to the clubhouse heater during Sunday's game at Comerica Park against the Detroit Tigers. Kipnis had a hole in his pants that was at least a couple of inches in diameter, and said he didn't feel any burning when it happened because he had...
How good of a starting prospect is Danny Salazar?
The Cleveland Indians must have seen something in Danny Salazar before everyone else — and their early belief has paid off in a big way.
After the 2011 season, Cleveland’s organization surprised a lot of people by placing the 21-year-old right-hander on the official 40-man roster. Salazar actually had only made 15 starts in the previous two years because of Tommy John surgery...
