Leonys Martin has had a rough season and is struggling mightily at the plate. It is time for the Cleveland Indians to move on. The outfield of the Cleveland Indians has been a constant topic of discussion this season. While someone like Oscar Mercado is the darling of the outfield, Leonys Martin has not performed up to expectations. Martin came into the season as the Indians everyday center fielder and is not playing at a level that warrants extended play time. It is time to go in a different direction.

While Martin was productive at the plate during those six games, a life threatening infection ended his season prematurely. Now the Cleveland Indians will lean on Martin to produce at a similar rate in 2019. During Martin's six game stint in Cleveland last year he put together a fairly impressive slash line. Granted it is from the smallest of sample sizes, but a .333/.353/.733/1.086 slash line is nothing to scoff at. Martin homered twice, drove in four runs and scored t...
