Do I think the Indians deserve a place in the playoffs? Yes. Will they no. And this is why... They are in the toughest division in baseball next to the NL Central. In the AL Central they play the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, and the Chicago White Soxs. Its a four team race for the division title and most likely the Tigers will get it. And the fight for the AL Wild Card will be twice as tough. With the Sox and the Yanks fighting for the East one of them will take the Wild Card for sure. I really just expect the Angles, Tigers, Red Sox, and Yankees in the playoffs. But, soon or later the Indians will get there chance.

Its going to be extremely hard, if not impossible. Not because the Indians have a bad team - I think they actually made the right steps to fill the glaring holes on the team. But because the AL Central is the toughest division in the league and the unblanced schedule means that good teams are going to be playing good teams and someone is going to lose.
I am still predicting a 2nd place finish (behind Detroit) but the Wild Card is coming from one of the other divisions.
(PS - as I have stated before I am an Indians fan, so please take what I say with a grain of salt.)

That's pretty much the toughest division in baseball, so they've got their work cut out for them. Minnesota, Detroit, and Chicago should all be competitive. I give the Indians a 15% chance of making the playoffs, because they do have some serious talent.

You may be a fan of the Indians, but NO way. By the way the Yankees are the best and are going beat Cleveland even if they get to the play offs

I would say no, unless they happen to be a wildcard. This is the best division in baseball and everybody but KC would most likely make it if they were in different divisions. However, that being said, I would say no 90/10. Twins and Tigers are just too good.

No. They have great offense, good starting pitching, and the best centerfielder in the game Grady Sizemore. That being said, defensively they are still going to be below average, and they don't know who their closer will be. I am not sure about who their setup man will be, either. They will win 90 games and finish second.

I would say no since it will be the Twins winning the division and I would think that the Tigers will finish in 2nd again.

I think they have a chanes they have a better team, and they have Trot Nixon. But they have to play good baseball. I don't know why, I just think the White Sox aren't going to make it. Weird, I know.
