CLEVELAND -- On Thursday afternoon, with the Indians gathering for a workout in the late afternoon, outfielder Trot Nixon gathered a group of Indians in the outfield and spoke to them for a few minutes, presumably imparting some veteran leadership.
''Yesterday was nothing out of the ordinary,'' said manager Eric Wedge. ''Trot has taken on a leadership role here from Day One . . . Trot has handled things the way a leader should handle things over the course of this year and other people have grown right along with him.''
''There's a definite value to (Trot's contributions),'' said GM Mark Shapiro. ''There's no leadership like peer-to-peer leadership. Any words that come from one player to another are the most powerful words.''
