ONE Indian on yesterday prospect report:

CLE DL Martinez, Henry 1.1 1 0 0 0 2 0.00

Wili Castro went 1-5 with RBI in Dominican Winter League last night.

Ronny Rod was 1-4.

Mejia was 4-5 with a triple and 2 runs tonight. But he committed his 2nd error in 3 games at 3rd.

Castro was 3-3 with a HR and 2 RBI tonight.

first extra base hit for Mejia, but he's hitting over 500 now. 3rd base is a learning experience for him, so whatever he experiences in the infield is a worthy process

Just wonder what the big league position thinking is on Mejia. Is he another Santana? Good hitter, lousy catcher?

Guess the fastest way to the big leagues is versatility and the ability to play multiple positions.

If you can hit, they'll find a spot for you.

Slick Wili Castro was 3-4 with run and RBI last night. He's currently leading DWL with a .478 BA. But a couple big games early in the season can do that.

Castro 1-4 with double last night. Eric Haase is going to be joining a DWL team next month.

Haase is an interesting player. I have no idea what his defensive skills are. He certainly demonstrated impressive power this season. He could be lost in the Rule 5 draft; I don't know if we should protect him.

DWL action 10/24/17
Ronny Rodriguez 3-4 2 HR 2RBI
Willi Castro 1-2 RBI
Michael Martinez 2-4 2RBI
Alsis Herrera 0.1(IP) 0H 0ER 0BB 0SO

BA features a couple of our guys today, one positive one not.

Bobby Bradley, 1B, Indians. Bradley has always combined strikeouts and home runs. Right now in the AFL, he's still striking out (15 in 36 at-bats), but he's not providing the power expected with only three extra-base hits. He did double yesterday, but he also struck out twice.

Francisco Mejia, DH, Indians. Mejia homered as part of a two-hit game. He's now hitting .400 in 35 at-bats.

CLE AFL Bradley, Bobby 1B 5 0 2 1 .278 2B (1) His batting average is good, however.
CLE AFL Krieger, Tyler 2B 4 0 3 0 .250 2B (3)
CLE AFL Mejia, Francisco DH 4 1 2 2 .400 HR (2)
CLE AFL Angulo, Argenis 1 0 0 0 0 1 6.00
CLE DL Frias, Carlos 0 0 0 0 1 0 0.00
CLE DL Martinez, Henry 2 1 0 0 0 0 0.00 W (2 - 0)
