It’s been a rocky start to the 2021 season for the Indians’ offense. Where do they go from here? Let’s try to come up with some answers in this week’s Indians Inbox:
How long do we see the Luplow and Gamel platoon in center? Who do you think we see there from the alternate site first: Mercado or Johnson?
It will probably be a little while until we see call ups from the alternate site, unless there is an injury. The players in Columbus have yet to play a game since Spring Training ended, and considering the Indians wanted guys like Oscar Mercado and Bradley Zimmer to get more at-bats before they come back up to the big leagues, they may still need some time. Daniel Johnson could be in a different boat since he s not specifically working on making adjustments at the plate, but it seems like the Tribe wants to try the Jordan Luplow/Ben Gamel platoon in center for at least a little longer.
CLEVELAND – We’ve finally made it. It’s time for the final Indians Inbox of the offseason, as pitchers and catchers are set to have their first workout in Goodyear, Ariz., on Thursday. What final questions remain before camp gets underway? Let’s take a look: Besides James Karinchak, who are closer

CLEVELAND After losing a few players who played crucial roles on the Tribe’s roster over the last few years, the Indians brought back a familiar face this week in Cesar Hernandez. But what questions does this signing raise? Let’s take a look in this week’s Indians Inbox:
Not sure where I caught this, but what do you know, if anything, in the rumor mill about the club trading Amed Rosario? @snoopster47
There’s not much known yet at this point, but it certainly would make the Hernandez signing make a little more sense. With Rosario, Hernandez and Andrés Giménez, the team will have plenty of middle infielders to choose from, which gives it the wiggle room to entertain conversations on Rosario.
