Michael Brantley, Jason Kipnis, and selecting the right sample

The Indians are far from a perfect team. Even after they filled some holes at the deadline, flaws still exist. They could really still use a bat to lengthen and embolden the lineup. The general consensus is, one worry they don’t have is in Michael Brantley, because he’s consistent, he’s one of the All-Stars, and he’s good, right? On the other hand, the voices of “TRADE JASON KIPNIS” were, if not deafening, certainly out there in the first months of the season. He had a slow start, but baseball being the game of the long season, things get a chance to shake out.
