Yes, we lost some talent, but to say we'll absolutely be worse than last year is discrediting a lot of players on the team.
-While they both had great years, at 24 and 25 you should expect Lindor and Ramirez to continue to get better
-Roberto Perez quietly put up a phenomenal second half (.808 OPS) and was one of few players to produce in the ALDS
-Michael Brantley was an All Star last year. But this forum loves to say it's a foregone conclusion he won't contribute next year
-Bradley Zimmer had his ups and downs but his future certainly looks promising.
-Kipnis has been a phenomenal bat when healthy
-Yes, we lost Santana which sucks but we replaced him with a guy who was an AL All Star last year. He should make up for a solid percentage of Santana's production
-Chisenhall was having the best season of his career until derailed with injuries. Guyer should rebound if healthy
I just don't get the doom and gloom for the Cleveland franchise that probably has the best chance to win it all this year, barring an injury to an integral piece to the Golden State Warriors. It's January 11 and this forum has decided the 2018 Indians are already dead.
