Well I am definately an Indians fan, so its possible I am a bit biased. But I really think the Indians have a chance at coming in second in the AL Central - the team could be significantly improved over last year as they made moves to upgrade the weakest parts of their team over the offseason. (While Minnesota and Chicago, either thru injuries or trade, each took a step back. Detroit added to their team without subtracting anyone, and that still makes them the favorite in my book.)
The Indians cannot get out to another slow start, however. They bury themselves from the start, and have to struggle to catch up.
The key to the team is going to be the bullpen.
I do not know if they can win the WC though, but I do expect the team to be in the thick of it all year long.
It should be a great year in Cleveland.

They'll be a good team. But predicting a winner in that division is like predicting an earthquake - you know there's going to be one..
The top 3 teams are so close it will probably come down to 1 injury or one bad call that costs 1 game. And maybe 3 of the top records in the AL fighting for 2 playoff spots again. Cleveland will need 95 wins to make the playoffs and I don't think Dellucci, Barfield and Nixon are the answer - they will finish 4th again but have a decent shot at a winning record, 83 games.

I honestly believe The Indians will be a very good team this year.
I see them, Minnesota, and Detroit in the mix all season.
They made some moves this off season to address thier bullpens issues, and that will help.
The AL Central race this year could go down to the last day of the season.
Minnesota (even without LIriano & Radke) are still a team to be reckoned with.
Overall, this will be a very exciting baseball season, and I can hardly wait for it to start!

I think they'll finish right behind the Tigers and finish ahead of white sox for 2nd place in division but fall 1 or 2 games short of the wild card behind the red sox and yanks will win division again

Indians.... they'll do okay.
I think CC Sabathia will do better this year, and lead the team.
But definetly better than last year.
I don't think they'll make the playoffs... not this year.

They should do better than last year, however, they are in the toughest division in baseball, so it will be tough for them.
