Yes.
This team should make the playoffs in some capacity every season with current makeup.
-Lost Brantley in UFA
-Lost 40 combined starts from Kluber & Carrasco; slack picked up by 2 rookies
-Clevinger missed 8-10 starts in the middle of the season
-Only got 2 good months from your MVP caliber 3B
-MVP caliber SS missed the first 3 weeks of the season
-4 of the 9 Opening Day starters aren't on MLB rosters
-Luplow missed a month
-Naquin, surprisingly one of their most consistent hitters, is out for the year
Credit to the Indians for still being in the hunt, despite limping towards the finish line. Don't think many teams could overcome what they have and still be where they are.
But yes, I'd be disappointed if they don't make it.
