CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here

Hey, Hoynsie: How come Kansas City, Oakland and Tampa Bay, all small-market teams, have done much better than the Mark Shapiro-led Indians over the last 10 years? -- Rich Novak, Fairview Park.

Hey, Rich: Here are the winning percentages of the four teams you mentioned over the last 10 years (2005-14): Oakland .519, Tampa Bay .506, Indians .498 and Royals .440.

A's GM Billy Beane has wheeled and dealed his way to five winning seasons, three AL West titles, four postseason appearances and three seasons of 93 or more victories in your allotted time period.

The Rays, well run and managed by departed GM Andrew Friedman and manager Joe Maddon, have posted six winning seasons, one pennant, two AL East titles, four postseason appearances and five seasons of 90 or more victories.

The Indians, a picture of stability in the front office, have posted four winning seasons, one AL Central title, two postseason appearances and three seasons of 90 or more victories.

The Royals have had just two winning seasons in the last 10 years. Yes, they won the AL pennant and reached the World Series last year, but that was their first postseason appearance since 1985. In the last 10 years they've lost 100 or more games twice and 90 or more games seven times.

While you were right about Oakland and Tampa Bay outperforming the Indians over the last 10 years, the Tribe has been much better than the Royals over the same period.

Hey, Hoynsie: Has the Indians equipment truck left for Arizona yet? I'm getting tired of winter. -- James Keane, Bay Village.

Hey, James: Good news, the Tribe's equipment trucks are leaving Friday from Progressive Field to Goodyear. Clubhouse manager Tony Amato and his staff are busy packing them right now.

As I look out my window across the frozen tundra of Lake County, perhaps spring really will come again.

Hey, Hoynsie: Why don't the Indians move Jason Kipnis to third base? It is less demanding physically and he seems to wear down during the season. So the Indians could have Kipnis at third, Jose Ramirez at second and Francisco Lindor at shortstop for an improved defense and perhaps a better offense. -- Robert Drobot, Lyndhurst.

Hey, Robert: Looking down the road, Kipnis could be in for a position change, but I don't think it happens this season. If Kipnis hits like he did in 2012 and 2013, I don't think anyone is going to worry about his defense.

As for opening this season with new starters at third (Kipnis), short (Lindor) and second (Ramirez), I don't think wholesale changes are a recipe for success.

Hey, Hoynsie: Ever since the Indians drafted Clint Frazier I've been intrigued by his attributes and skill to play the game, constantly checking in to see how he's playing in the minors. Will he be bumped to Class AA or Class AAA starting this season or is he still progressing in the lower levels? -- Shawn Marshall, Garfield Heights.

Hey, Shawn: Frazier spent last season at Class A Lake County where he played center field and hit .266 (126-for-474) with 37 extra base hits and 50 RBI. I would think he'd start this season at Lynchburg, Virginia, the new home of the Indians' advanced Class A team in the Carolina League.

The Indians used their No.1 pick in the 2013 draft to take Frazier out of Loganville High School in Georgia.

Hey, Hoynsie: What is the possibility of adding an infielder like Chris Johnson or Matt Dominguez? Both have shown some promise in producing results and could provide the Indians with much needed depth in regards to the right side of the plate. -- Shawn Marshall, Garfield Heights.

Hey, Shawn: To add either player would take a trade and some roster shuffling. Not to mention that Johnson is making a lot of money, $23.5 million through 2017.

Manager Terry Francona likes versatile players. A guy like Mike Aviles, who can play all over the diamond, often allows him to carry an extra reliever.

Dominguez and Johnson are primarily third basemen.
