The Cleveland Indians have called up Lonnie Chisenhall
The Indians have called up 24-year old lefty swinging 3B Lonnie Chisenhall. He played in 26 games earlier this year for the Tribe and he was 20 for 94 (.213 avg, .604 OPS) with 7 runs scored, 3 homers and 11 RBIs. He had a problem with swinging at everything as he whiffed 22 times while only walking 3 times for the Indians. Chisenhall earned his way back by ripping the ball in AAA. He has played in 27 games in AAA-ball this year for the Indians and he was 41 of 105 (.390 avg, 1.132 OPS) with 21 runs scored, 6 homers, 26 RBIs and 2 stolen bases. With Nick Swisher out of action for a while due to a shoulder problem, I see Chisenhall playing a lot at 3B with Mark Reynolds moving to 1B.
