Indians Report Card: Second base
Ronnie Belliard
284 8 34
Somewhat surprisingly, the Indians brought back Belliard, instead of surrendering the territory to Brandon Phillips. So far, that decision cannot be criticized. Belliard has batted everywhere from leadoff to fifth in the order, and has played solid defense.
The potential exists, of course, for another second half dropoff. Belliard wasn't quite as sharp in the second half last season, and is a .271 lifetime hitter.
To this point, however, Belliard has been what he was last season. The Indians front office has to be pleased with that.
Grade: B+

This is the part where I would have graded Alex Cora, but Cleveland shipped him to Boston today, without a middle infielder (on the big league roster) to replace him.
