Clubhouse confidential: Right-hander Jeremy Accardo tried to ignore what was going on with the Indians through the first six weeks of the season when he was at Class AAA Columbus, after coming close to making the big-league club out of spring training.
He has spent a lot of time in Class AAA ball over the past three seasons and knows that can be counterproductive.
“You can’t control what happens above you, you can’t control what happens below you,” said Accardo, after joining the Indians on Monday as their newest reliever. “You just try to go out there, do your job, shut your eyes at night, wake up and do it all over again the next day and hope something good happens.”
Well-ranked: Asdrubal Cabrera has had a quiet, but productive start to the season. He is ranked in the top 10 in the following offensive categories in the American League: average (.315, ninth), doubles (11, tied for seventh), on-base percentage (.411, sixth), home batting average (.333, tied for ninth), night batting average (.371, fourth) and hardest to strike out (one strikeout every 14.3 plate appearances, first).
