— Manny Acta in a FanGraphs two-headed interview with Indians Asst GM Mike Chernoff. Acta, as usual, shows that he's a completely reasonable man. Interview focuses primarily on lineup construction.

Good profile on Manny that avoids most of the national media tropes about this club and the city of Cleveland.

Asked about third base, Acta said, "We'll see what's out there. if not, we're prepared to go with our in-house candidates." He took a slightly different route when answering about the club's search for rotation help. "We should be able to add a guy or two and have him compete. There are some guys that are going to go to Spring Training to compete for us who probably still need some more seasoning in the Minor Leagues."

— Bastian from an informative piece on Acta.

Where does this put Donald in the Tribe's pecking order of second basemen?

''It depends on what we do in the offseason,'' Acta said. ''And that's something a lot of guys will be hearing.''

— Ocker. Thought JD might've gotten more of an endorsement than that.
