Cleveland Dark Horse Indians Noted For Easter Potential
New York reports the Cleveland Indians are seen as a dark horse in the American League with rookie Lusious Luke Easter as the key. Marsh Samuel says Easter could lift the club from first to fifth and compares his power to Babe Ruth, despite a .222 stint after joining from the Padres. The team weighs where Easter fits, with Vernon and a veteran first baseman ahead, while Greenberg notes Easter moves well for his size and could justify his outfield use if his bat meets expectations.
