The Cleveland Indians went through a major rebuilding phase this past offseason and made numerous moves to shore up both their lineup and pitching rotation.
Through free agency and trades, the Tribe was able to bring in major pieces like Nick Swisher, Michael Bourn, Mark Reynolds and several other impact players.
Some of these players have staked themselves out to hot starts and are already justifying their new contracts.
Others have been lagging behind through the team’s first 14 games and are causing fans to question whether or not the trade package, or contract, was worth it to bring them to Cleveland.
With that said, here are early grades for the Indians 2012-13 offseason moves.
