Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona praises Erik Gonzalez

• At Fangraphs, Jeff Sullivan ranks depth around Major League Baseball. The Indians fare very well, coming in at fourth, behind the Red Sox, Cardinals and Dodgers. But as Sullivan points out, a good deal of this depends on Gavin Floyd's elbow.

• ICYMI, Gavin Floyd injured his elbow again and could miss the entire 2015 season. Maybe he'll be back in time for the ALCS.

• One more fun-to-watch pitcher who won't be pitching for a very long time:

AA: Marcus Stroman tore acl #BlueJays #Jays

Losing one of the most underrated pitchers in the AL is a tough blow for the Blue Jays, who have dreams of contending this season.

• Let's Go Tribe's #10 Indians prospect has started to generate praise much more lofty (and important, sorry community):

One more note from Francona: said 23-year-old SS Erik Gonzalez is seeing his body mature, went so far as to call him an "elite prospect."

Hopefully, this is the "Evan Longoria" definition of elite and not the "Joe Flacco" one.
