| Publisher Description: In 2013 the Indians undertook a massive turnaround as an organization improving their record by 24 games and making the playoffs for the first time since 2007. At the head of that turnaround was manager Terry Francona who instilled a new organizational culture that the entire organization bought into from the players to ownership. Hope has since been restored to the corner of Carnegie and Ontario and a belief that the franchise is heading in the right direction, and most importantly, that it can sustain that direction. At the heart of the success of the organization is the Indians' minor league system which produced players like Jason Kipnis, Danny Salazar, Corey Kluber, Zach McAllister, Yan Gomes, Cody Allen and Michael Brantley in recent seasons. In order to maintain their recent success they will need more players to come up and fill important roles on the team, and for the first time in a few years the Indians have a bevy legit prospects in the upper levels who can help at the Major League level this season and for seasons to come.
