Are you all seriously picking us to win the world series or are they just homer picks?

I truly think they will to be honest...They have two legit monsters at the top of the rotation in Kluber and Carrasco...also I like Salazar, Bauer, and House...Then the lineup is very solid especially in the 3-6 with Brantley, Santana, Moss, and Gomes..Kipnis should bounce back and then the addition of Lindor in the season is going to give us a huge lift...our bullpen is also very solid and Allen should have a monster season
 
Wouldn't be surprised, honestly.

Dont think I've ever even picked them to win the division...but this year it is really up for grabs. Not one team in either league stands out as ahead of the pack.

Wide open division and two stud pitchers.

Our young hitters should bounce back (most notably Kip) and Moss / Bourne finally look healthy (please God).

I hate being so bullish on them given baseball is a crapshoot but we are really close. This is most certainly the year for Cleveland to overspend on a deadline pitcher.

I've heard this many times before. "Guys should bounce back" "Stud pitching"

Not saying it isn't gonna happen or I don't think they have a chance to be really good though. Francona is the thing that makes me the most hopeful. He's done a great job.
 
With so many variables at play throughout the course of the season, it would be foolish to expect a title if you're a fan of any team.

But the Indians are in the game, so why not them?

Support the team, nobody cares that the poor Indians fans have been let down before. Shit happens, doesn't matter now.

Excited to get this thing going already.
 
Me too. Definitely more excited for baseball than I was the last two seasons for some reason but I'm still not expecting all that much from them. If it's a winning season I'll be happy.

Having two guys in your rotation that posted sub 2.6 ERA's in nearly 60 combined starts is about as good as it gets.

Tribe won 85 games last season and definitely improved in the off-season.

Again, a lot of variables in baseball but why not us? This group has won 177 games the last two seasons. They are primed to win a division.
 
AL West - Oakland
AL Central - Detroit
AL East - Toronto
AL Wild Card - Los Angeles over Boston

NL West - Dodgers
NL Central - Pittsburgh
NL East - Washington
NL Wild Card - St. Louis over San Diego

ALDS - Detroit over Toronto, Boston over Oakland
NLDS - Washington over Pittsburgh, St. Louis over Dodger

ALCS - Detroit over Boston
NLCS - Washington over St. Louis

World Series- Detroit over Washington

AL MVP - Miguel Cabrera
NL MVP - Yasiel Puig
Indians All-Stars - none. Rob Manfred suspends 'one all star per team' rule in response to leaguewide outcry at awful effort.

Tribe final record: 56-106

I originally had them pegged to win the division and make a playoff run but then that SI cover came out, and I remembered the Browns have a draft coming up so the Indians would probably blow it.
