AL Central: Checking in on the new guys
KANSAS CITY -- New faces abound in the American League Central in 2018, some young and some old. And we're not talking about Frosty the Snowman, who has made an appearance in every AL Central park from Detroit to Kansas City here in April.
Let's go around the horn in the AL Central and check out the new guys.
Indians
Who's the new guy? First baseman Yonder Alonso
Alonso's solo home run How's it going so far? Through 16 games, Alonso has a .196/.274/.375 slash line to go with three home runs and nine RBIs. Like most of the Indians' lineup, Alonso's slow start was impacted by an extremely cold stretch of games in Cleveland.
