44: Who's This Brantley Guy Starting in Left?

The Indians' sent moderate shock waves this week, announcing that Michael
Brantley not only was going to be in the lineup this week, but that he was
playing five or six innings in left field. Can he start opening day, and
should he? What does this mean for Tyler Naquin, who's been tearing up
spring with gap power, good defense and a .400-plus average? Is Lonnie's D
good enough to stick around for the season? Can Trevor Bauer make it a big
four, and should we buy our wigs for the Mike Clevinger train? Everybody
Hates Cleveland's Jim Pete (@JimPeteEHC), Did The Tribe Win Last NIght's?
