An Early Look at the Indians Roster With Spring Training About a Month Away

Catchers

Yan Gomes
Francisco Mejia
Adam Moore
Roberto Pérez

Last season this may have been the weak link on the team as Yan Gomes never got going, then on July 17th suffered a nasty injury that ruined basically the rest of his season.

Roberto Perez came in and filled in the best he could, playing in every playoff game, hitting three homers and driving in seven runs. At the end of the day, this position on the team could easily be better, and is expected to be in 2017 with a hopeful return of a healthy and determined Gomes, and with Perez coming back as the backup.

Don’t count out Francisco Mejia, the 21-year old rising star who last year in the minors had a 50-game hitting streak, the longest in the minors in 62 years. It will be fun to see what he can do in the spring, and then we’ll get a better determination of how far he is away from the Majors.
