CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Can the Indians count on Giovanny Urshela to play third base?

With the glove, absolutely.

At the bat ... well ... we don't know.

If the Tribe had power hitters in the outfield, then they could go with a younger version of a smooth-fielding Jack Hanahan at third base.

But Tribe fans know about Michael Brantley being out at least for the first month of the season because of shoulder surgery. It could be longer.

The projected opening day outfield minus Brantley is Lonnie Chisenhall (RF), Abraham Almonte (CF) and Rajai Davis (LF).
