While he could immediately contribute defensively at the major league level, Eric Stamets is blocked by All-Stars Francisco Lindor, Jose Ramirez, and Jason Kipnis at their respective infield positions for the foreseeable future. It will be interesting to see what role the Indians see Stamets playing for them at the major league level in 2018. The organization valued Stamets enough to add him to their 40-man roster to protect him from being selected in this past month's Rule 5 Draft, so it’s very possible that Stamets will be up with the Indians this upcoming season. Berti and Gale are both former late round draft picks who, to their credit, provide enough value defensively to get to the Triple-A level. However, Berti and Gale had on-base plus slugging rates of .584 and .693 respectively in 2017. In order for their careers to take the next step, these two, like the rest of the minor leaguers on this particular leaderboard (i.e. Wendle, Coleman, and Gonzalez), need their performance at the plate to become somewhat passable.
