March 22, 2012NFL Draft: RB David Wilson to Visit Cleveland
March 22, 2012The countdown to Opening Day stands at ’14’ and the Cleveland Indians are preparing to return home.
Alas, their latest transactions involve optioning right-handed pitcher Zach McAllister and second baseman Cord Phelps to their Triple-A affiliate Columbus Clippers. In addition, pitcher Chen-Chang Lee and outfielder Trevor Crowe have been re-assigned to minor league camp.
The Cleveland Indians roster stands at 46. With only 31 players presently on the 40-man roster, nine of the remaining 15 non-roster invites are looking at a spot with the team.

Guess that’s probably it for Crowe here. If you can’t crack a back up spot in this OF at age 28 not sure when you could. Hopefully he was one of the last of the Tribe’s bungled first round picks for a while.
Crowe had a good spring. I’ve heard interviews with him and he seems like a good kid and a hard worker. Let’s hope he bounces back nicely from the injury. We could use the outfield depth.
Cmon Canzler…
Best move for Phelps.
