While We’re Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at tips@waitingfornextyear.com.

“Cunningham is out of options. What this means is that he would have to be exposed to waivers before the Indians could outright him and send assign him to a Minor League affiliate. In the business of baseball, this would essentially give Cunningham a leg up on the competition for a bench spot this spring, if he turns in a comparable showing to his Minor League contracted competitors.

Last season, the Indians ran into some issues due to the fact that Kearns in the fold on a guaranteed deal. Even as he tanked, there was a reluctance to part ways with him out of fear of exposing the team’s thin depth. That explains why someone like Shelley Duncan, who had options last year, was shuttled back and forth between the Majors and Minors so often. That’s the business side of things.

This year, like Cunningham, Duncan is out of options, too. So, as things stand at the moment, it’s a fair assumption that both players project to be on the Opening Day roster. One difference this year is that the first-base situation, and the expectation that Grady Sizemore will be healthy enough to be in the lineup and in center from the season’s start, throws a bit of a wrinkle into things.” [Bastian/MLB.com] [Read more...]
