Indians exec still drooling over Yankees’ Andrew Miller haul

Here’s the good news for the Yankees, who have not won a playoff series since 2012.

The Indians, who begin World Series play Tuesday night at Progressive Field against the Cubs, had the biggest of plans for key young pieces, outfielder Clint Frazier and left-handed pitcher Justus Sheffield, two of the players the Bombers received in that deadline deal for Andrew Miller, who helped win the AL pennant for Cleveland.

“They were a big part of our future planning,’’ Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti told The Post. “We’re working on parallel paths right now as an organization, what’s going on in our major leagues, which is something that is exciting and obviously Andrew has been a huge part of it, but at the same time we are looking at our offseason planning for the next three years, and there are some big holes in that planning that we were kind of counting on, the guys that we traded to New York.

“We knew we were going to have to pay a stiff price in prospects, and ultimately we did. We felt it was worthwhile, but we gave up some of our best guys.’’

Here is his scouting report on Frazier, drafted fifth overall in 2013: “He’s got elite bat speed, can really impact the baseball from right-center to the left-field line. He has really developed and matured as a hitter, understanding the strike zone really well. He’s got a chance to be a middle-of-the-order run-producer for a long time.

“He’s a really engaging personality,’’ Antonetti said of Frazier, 22, who batted a combined .263 with 16 home runs in the minors this season. “Cares about baseball. Really passionate, a great worker. If you watch him do his pregame work, he’s that guy that clears everybody else out, he wants to take balls live off the bat in batting practice to work on his path to the ball. Good players work hard.’’

As for Sheffield, 20, Antonetti raved about the left-hander, who went 10-6 with a 3.09 this season on three different minor league teams. “Great stuff, power fastball, a really good slider. Able to miss bats with both of those pitches, developing a changeup that also has a chance to be above average. A great competitor on the mound, and a chance to be a really good major league starting pitcher.’’

The Yankees also acquired pitchers J. P. Feyereisen and Ben Heller in the deal. The Indians still have a lot of young talent coming through their system.

“Part of our responsibility is to be able to replenish that system and rely on a great group of scouts and player-development people to replenish,’’ Antonetti said.
