The final word: Picking the Indians to win the Central isn’t really a radical pick — they won 85 games last season and 92 in 2013. The offense should be above average, especially if Kipnis and Moss are healthy. And while the defense is questionable (last in the majors in overall DRS), it’s the young rotation that has come together. Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, Danny Salazarand T.J. House should be an excellent five-man group, with depth from Floyd and Zach McAllister. Second-half stats aren’t always predictive, but the Indians had the best rotation ERA in the AL after the All-Star break. Jose Ramirez or rookie Francisco Lindor will be an upgrade defensively at shortstop. Brantley, Carlos Santana, Kipnis and Yan Gomes are right in their peak years. Go support your team, Cleveland.

Thank you David Schoenfield! But but but… I thought the Indians organization didn’t care about winning??? Seems like while everyone was bitching about attendance; bitching about all the Friday night fireworks (seriously, who complains about fireworks?); complaining about how the Indians don’t have a right handed power bat; and chastising the Dolans for not opening their pockets; the little ol Indians have become a force to be reckoned with in the AL Central… AND according to our boy David here will be the team to represent the American League in the World Series.
Hi haters 
It’s gonna be so awesome that in just one calendar year the Buckeyes, Cavaliers, and Indians all win titles.
Live look in at Corey Kluber as he hears the news that they’re the best team in the American League
