Fantasy Impact
The Indians are taking a staggering twelve potential outfielders to Spring Training, including Michael Choice, Joey Butler, Collin Cowgill, Robbie Grossman, Shane Robinson, Lonnie Chisenhall, Abraham Almonte, Rajai Davis, Tyler Naquin, James Ramsey, Zach Walters and of course, Michael Brantley. Indians' GM Mike Chernoff said that as Zimmer and Frazier are unlikely to make the major league team out of spring training so it's less important to have them as part of that unit in camp. Both prospects have fantastic upside and are expected to feature in the 2017 Indians' lineup.
