Indians' Town Hall meeting

 

I just got back from the Indians' Town Hall meeting with Antonetti and Acta and figured I'd try to supplement what Bastian and Hoynes said on twitter.

 

  • Acta specifically mentioned Hannahan with Nix and Donald for the 3B competition
  • I can't tell if they're expecting or hoping Chisenhall and Kipnis to contribute in the majors before the end of the year, but it was something they consider very realistic
  • Acta was excited about some of the younger pen arms - Stowell, Putnam, Judy, and Packer were all mentioned by names as guys he expects to come up and contribute
  • When asked about internal expectations for 2011, particularly if they can get to .500, Antonetti said they're looking higher than that. They think they'll be healthy and able to build on the pitching from the second half.
  • Sizemore is set in CF, but not necessarily in the #2 spot in the order.

You mean #1 spot?

Didn’t he start last season batting #2?

Yeah, I’m also under the impression that the earlier inclinations of possibly moving back to #1 means he is still #2 for now.

The Hanahan thing…hmm. My interest in the intrigue around 3rd is well documented.

After looking up more of his defensive descriptions I’m more intrigued by him
