2012
Canzler had a solid season at Triple-A Durham, finishing the season with 18 home runs and a .401 OBP. He had a cup of coffee with the Rays in September but a 23.5 percent strikeout rate in the minors suggests he's probably not ready for the big show. Look for him to compete for a bench spot during spring with the Indians during spring training after being acquired for a player to be named later in January.
