We went and saw the Cleveland Indians last year, but they didn’t do as well as the playoff-bound 2007 team. Then they traded the star pitcher, “CC” Sabathia, to the Brewers before he signed with the Yankees in the off-season.
Now it’s a new season and Cliff Lee is facing high expectations as the team’s new ace. The outfield should be good with the returning Grady Sizemore and Shin Soo Choo.
Kerry Wood has been brought in to bolster the bullpen–how it and the infield hold up could determine chances of competing for the Indians this year.
