Let's Go Tribe, a Cleveland Indians community

Pay content. Snippet: Pomeranz survived on his two-pitch mix while throwing few changeups, a pitch he needs to both improve and become more confident with in his pitch sequencing.

KG at BP is beginning his off-season prospect lists and the first one, the Pirates, is free. The Indians will be up soon, as he'll go in 2011 draft order. Huntington seemed to have a good year.

The link above is to a review of all the Top 11 lists in the AL Central. Here, I'll link the "Kiss 'Em Goodbye" piece that BP did on the Indians, a brief postmortem. From KG in the 2nd piece: Phelps suddenly started hitting, including a .317/.386/.506 line in 66 Triple-A games. He's a bit bulky and slow for the position, but with gap power and good plate discipline, he'll at least represent a major upgrade over Valbuena until Kipnis is deemed ready.

BP runs down the players that will dominate the majors for the next 10 years. No Indians major or minor leaguers make an appearance in the top 20 but two make an appearance in "just missed." Care to guess? I'll post it in the comments in a day or two.

Not many surprises here. LaPorta and Santana are 1/2 and both are given five stars. Weglarz is third with four stars, and then there is a massive grouping of three star prospects that includes Miller, Mills, Rondon, and Huff. Goldstein has a lot of nice things to say about the depth in our system, pointing out that no prospect in our top 11 has fewer than a three star rating.
