2012
Phelps didn't hit much in a couple of brief stints with the Indians, hitting just .155 with a homer in 71 at-bats. He initially hit his way into a promotion with another solid effort at Triple-A Columbus (.294/.376/.492 with 25 doubles and 14 homers in 97 games), but has been passed in the organizational pecking order by Jason Kipnis. To make matters worse, Phelps is blocked at shortstop by Asdrubal Cabrera and at third base by Lonnie Chisenhall. The lack of an opening could make him a good candidate to get dealt, but for now it appears he's ticketed for another season at Triple-A unless the Indians decide to give him a look as their utility infielder.
