Last, Steinbrenner hasn't got a very strong minor league system to replace the people.
The Indians, on the other hand, have one of the strongest minor-league systems in the game and were the number 1 team in baseball on ESPN's Power Rankings after the World Series. They have since fallen to 5 (because of free agency), but I don't see that sticking for very long.

It should be noted that last year, the Indians lost...I don't recall the exact number...probably between 12 and 16 games by 1 run, and at least half them were to the White Sox.

We were also 1 game behind the Sox before we lost 6 of our last 7 games of the year.
Last, when Travis Hafner ( got hit in the face by Mark Buehrle, that essentially took him out for the year. He eventually came back from the concussion after a month or so, but he was having dizzy spells for the rest of the year.
He still ended up in the top-ten for average, home runs and RBIs, but he could have had a much bigger year.
The Pantyhose (as some people call them here in Cleveland) have improved, no doubt, but the Indians have improved too. Maybe not with the new player's we brought in, but rather through the invaluable experience of going through a playoff-type atmosphere. Don't sell them short, they will perform well (barring big injuries) and I don't think taking the Central Division crown back is out of the realm of possibility.

I am too, and I agree. The Cubs are gonna blow donkeys.

Warbler, you shouldn't feel too bad. Phillies may be 0-4, but on that same Power Ranking, they're only number 19, one spot behind the 4-0 Detroit Tigers.

I say he cheated. He and anyone else who used steroids should be thown out of the game and their stats shoud an asterisk placed next to them. It needs to done for the integrity of the game, and also to teach a lesson to kids might be thinking about using steroids.
btw: the Phils are now 1-5. They played a doubleheader with the Dodgers. They won the 1st game 6-3, but lost the 2nd game 6-2.

How do you feel about Pete Rose, arguably the best baseball player who ever lived? do you believe he should be banned from the hall of fame because of a gambling problem?
