Morning Report: Indianapolis Has Experienced Depth on Offense This Season

Tim Williams wrote yesterday about how Indianapolis is dividing up the playing time with so many prospects on the roster. The focus was around Kevin Kramer and Kevin Newman getting plenty of playing time in the middle of the order. That reminded me of a Morning Report topic from early last year when I took a look at the inexperience of Indianapolis, as far as previous Major League time was concerned.

Just like last year, this season's club didn't need to fill up on minor league veterans via free agency. The difference with this year is that they have Major League experience among the players who are still young, at least on the offensive side.
