Most games played in right field in Cleveland Indians history

Taking a break from the infield, this time we will review right field, a typical power position for most teams. After the 2009 season, 348 players had appeared as a right fielder for the Blues/Bronchos/Naps/Indians. Since then, 25 new players have resided at that position for at least one game.

In the past six seasons, nobody has cracked the Top 25 of this list. However, that is mostly a technicality as Shin-Soo Choo had just cracked the Top 25 himself after the 2009 season. After he was dealt to Cincinnati in the Trevor Bauer trade, he moved all the way up for a tie for fifth place with Cory Snyder.

It is pretty telling in the past six seasons that not one player has reached 200 games at this position, as that would have them just out on the outskirts of the Top 25. Lonnie Chisenhall's move to right field only netted him 51 games, good enough for 84th place. Even if he plays all 162 games this season (which he surely won't due to his proclivity for being rested against most left-handed starters), that would just barely get him into the Top 25. If Chisenhall can hit well enough, he should be able to crack the list in 2017, but by then Clint Frazier will hopefully be ready to take over the position.

Here is the full list of new players in the past six seasons: Aaron Cunningham, Austin Kearns, Brandon Moss, Chris Dickerson, David Murphy, Drew Stubbs, Elliot Johnson, Ezequiel Carrera, J.B. Shuck, Jason Kubel, Jerry Sands, Jose Lopez, Kosuke Fukudome, Lonnie Chisenhall, Matt Carson, Michael Martinez, Mike Aviles, Nick Swisher, Ryan Raburn, Shelley Duncan, Thomas Neal, Travis Buck, Tyler Holt, Vinny Rotino, Zach Walters.

And onto the Top 25:

Just 27 players -- or 7% of the total -- have cracked 200 games, with Jorge Orta and Jody Gerut just missing the cut. Another 30 players have 100 games or more, leaving 316 players with fewer than 100 games. And that includes 59 guys with just a single game, including Jose Lopez and Michael Martinez of the new guys.
