Complaining about the offense when Stamets is going to turn into Lindor, one of Miller/Moroff is going to turn into Kipnis and one of Naquin/Allen/Luplow is going to turn into Gonzalez within the next couple of weeks is kind of silly.
Yes, the offense is poor right now, but they have at least three guys playing every day right now who most certainly won't even be on the team in the next few weeks. Maybe more than three if guys like Chang, Mercado or Zimmer force their way into the picture.
Looking beyond the offense, you have Clippard who is likely going to replace someone in the pen eventually too, whether it's Ramirez, Otero or Edwards, and that should be an upgrade.
Not to mention the Indians have been buyers at the deadline each of the last three years, bringing on Hand, Cimber, Donaldson in 2018, Smith and Bruce in 2017, Miller and Guyer in 2016.
I just wouldn't stress how the roster looks right now when several changes are clearly on the horizon and many others could be as well.
