I noticed he is absent from the 2011 projections. Have you considering adding him?
He is supposedly still vying for the 3B job this spring (although I doubt he wins it). I have also read that Manny Acta has predicted he will be a contributor at some point this year. Additionally, his road to the MLB is currently "blocked" by Jayson Nix and Jason Donald. The only negative is he is not on Cleveland's 40-man roster.

up until yesterday's report from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, my interpretation of the manager-speak was Chisenhall would be spending the season in Triple-A, but now I am not so sure.
At minimum, we can do what we did last season and that is give our translated projections for some top minor leaguers. I will ask Perry and Rob for a list and I will also take requests.

Thank you. That would be great! Off the top of my head, I'd like to see Chisenhall, Kipnis, Weglarz, K.Gibson, and Hosmer (I'm an AL-only guy).

I've said it before - but I'll give a Cleveland fan's perspective. Even if these guys are ready to play now - Cleveland has ZERO incentive to rush their development. The signings of Kearns and Nick Johnson and the presence of Shelley Duncan give a hint to this. I think you will see all of the Indians names up at some point this year - but not before June 1st and then maybe only Kipnis. The Tribes has a boatload of SP's in the pipeline for 2012/2013. In a keeper league I like Chisenhall a lot.
