This morning the Indians optioned out RHP John Meloan, RHP Adam Miller, RHP Juan Salas, LHP Tony Sipp, and INF Luis Valbuena to AAA Columbus. RHP Hector Rondon and CA Carlos Santana were optioned to AA Akron. They also re-assigned RHP Jack Cassel, LHP David Huff, CA Armando Camacaro, INF Jordan Brown, INF Wes Hodges, INF Jesus Merchan, INF Beau Mills, and OF Stephen Head to minor league camp. There are 44 players still in big league camp.

So it will not be neither Meloan nor Sipp and nor Salas to make the team as the 7th of the bullpen.
That lease us with Mujica, Jackson, Chulck....right?

Tony, do you think this tells us anything about where these guys will start the year? Surely Huff will be in Columbus, and Rondon in Akron, most likely?
Nevermind, Castrovince updated to say Rondon to Akron.
Yeah, Indians made the correction that Rondon and Santana are optioned to Akron.
As for the 7th spot, it really leaves just Zach Jackson, Eddie Mujica, and Vinnie Chulk I think as the top candidates for the spot. No biggie though, as that spot will be in flux all year.
I think it is interesting that both Brantley and LaPorta are still in camp. Just speculation but maybe something is going on with the OFs. Not a lot of surprises on the list except for a few vets that I thought would be cut.
Add Aquino to the list of candidates for the #7 RP role. At this point one would think Chulk has got the lead for the spot.
