2010 Depth Chart

Last Updated: January 28, 2010

Here is a new edition of the 2010 Depth Chart. I posted the first depth chart listing about five weeks ago, and have since made several changes and tinkered with it based on more evaluation from myself and some input from some sources. The rosters for Cleveland, Columbus, and Akron are not too difficult to fill out, especially with regard to who the starting position players and starting pitchers will be. That said, the most difficult task is figuring out the bullpens and bench at every level and the full rosters for Kinston and Lake County.

I will continue to update this depth chart throughout the offseason and spring training, and then once the season starts will provide the current rosters at each level. This will also continue to be linked in the tab below the site header.

Note: The maximum active roster size at Cleveland, Kinston and Lake County is 25 players whereas at Columbus and Akron it is just 24 players. Also, guys listed as bubble/rehab guys (rehab guys have a * next to name) are listed in the column for the team they likely will be playing for a spot on this spring. Some interesting players will certainly be left off the active list when the season starts.

One thing that comes to mind when looking at the depth chart, is that I don't actually think the Indians pitching will be that bad this year. Unlike last year in particular, there are legitimate depth options at AAA, with Todd, Judy, Wright and Wagner. If, as per usual, half of the bullpen guys who start the season on the major league roster struggle with injuries or ineffectiveness, they can move quickly to replace them and give other guys a shot. The starting pitching could be halfway decent too, I wouldn't feel terrible about any of those 5 at Columbus having to step into the major league rotation. Not that I'd expect miracles, but any of them could do at least as well as Huff last year. Also, if not for Santana's injury, I'd say they'd be crazy not to give him a shot at the major league job out of spring training, Marson in the column on the left next to Santana on the right just looks ... odd.
