Second baseman -- Jason Kipnis, Kinston (54 games)/Akron (78 games): The Indians' second-round pick in 2009, Kipnis followed up his excellent regular season with a clutch postseason, hitting for the cycle to lead Triple-A Columbus to a championship-clinching Game 4 win.
"He started with us, hit right at the .300 mark. He may be short in stature, but knows how to swing the bat -- he has some pop in his bat," Holbert said. "I know he didn't have as many home runs as he would have liked for us, but you saw what he did for Akron and in the Triple-A playoffs. He's a guy that can get on base and steal 10-15 bases for you. He's an offensive-minded guy who can drive in runs and be a run producer."
