In honor of my TCF colleague Al Ciammaichella’s Top 61 Prospects countdown, with an overview, #61-56, #55-51, and #50-46 posted by mid-afternoon on Saturday, I wanted to rank the players on my projected Indians 25-man roster. To do this, I’m going to consider offensive and defensive value for position players and performance and importance for pitchers. The Indians’ organizational strength at that position will also be considered because players that are replaceable will be ranked lower.
This is entirely subjective and your personal rankings may differ drastically from mine. A lot can change between now and April 2, so the 25-man roster may be affected by injuries, late free agent signings or trades, and guys really making a positive impact the rest of the spring. This, however, is the roster I fully explain the Indians to break camp with.
To avoid a 4,000+-word article, I’ll split this up into two parts running on consecutive Saturdays as my weekly View from the Porch article.
In descending order, here is a rank of my #25-#13 on my projected Indians 25-man roster:
Day three of the countdown is unofficial outfielder day! We're going to take an in-depth look at three of the outfielders in the system, only one of which has played at the AA level. All three are above-average to plus runners, and all three can contribute with the glove as well as with the bat. In addition to the outfielders, we're going to get a look at my favorite catcher in the system and a soft-tossing southpaw who is looking to bounce back from an injury-plagued 2012 season here in 2013. 
It was a good day in Mesa for two Indians pitchers battling for spots at the back of the rotation, as the Indians beat the Cubs 9-2, their second victory at HoHoKam Stadium in six days, behind seven strong combined innings from David Huff and Zach McAllister.
Day two of the prospect countdown rolls on, and today we'll tackle the #55-51 prospects in the system. We'll look at a soft-tossing righty, the Cook twins, the best moustache in the organization and a catcher-turned-first baseman who needs to improve his power output to regain some of his prospect standing. We're barely two days into the countdown, and I'm already second-guessing myself on whether or not I have at least one guy ranked too low on this list. 
I'm a little obsessed, sometimes.
