Chisenhall probably gives up a 6th major leaguer in the lineup. Not all-stars but at least major leaguers. We still lack a big league player at the key offensive positions of 1st base, Left field and DH. Of the 6 all are flawed or unproven:

Asdrubal runs out of gas every year after the All Star game.
Brantley's numbers all are better this year but OPS still nothing special at 740
Carlos doesn't start hitting until after the all-star game.
Kipnis seems to be a big league hitter but he's streaky and his second half has been lousy; second OPS only 705.
Chisenhall has not played enough to prove anything yet.
Choo is the most consistant, but his OPS has dropped from 880s a few years back to 815 this year; and he probably will refuse to sign again with this lousy team, assuming that they offered a competitive salary which is very unlikely.

And then there's the pitching where we are very deep in 4th and 5th starters with Masterson, Carrasco and Jiminez the most talented but respectively inconsistant, not established, and possibly washed up at a young age.

Santana, Brantly, and Canzler open the home half of the Indians 6th with basehits. Tribe with the bags packed and not outs to Chisenhall.
