How was he only MVP once in his career? That's crazy
ARod was on his team in Seattle and they often split the vote.How was he only MVP once in his career? That's crazy
Probably because his teams never won anything meaningful. I did a quick search and only 2 teams that he was on ever even won a division championship. I'm not saying he wasn't worthy, it's just how it works in MLB.How was he only MVP once in his career? That's crazy

Great piece on the rediculous front office the 98 indians had
http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/161217636/1998-indians-front-office-executives-tree
• John Hart, general manager
• Dan O'Dowd, assistant GM
• Mark Shapiro, player development director
• Josh Byrnes, scouting director
• Paul DePodesta, advance scout
• Ben Cherington, advance scout
• Neal Huntington, assistant director of Minor League operations
• Chris Antonetti, baseball operations assistant
If you're scoring at home, that's eight current or former general managers, including three eventual club presidents and one future "chief strategic officer" for the Cleveland Browns.

If the Cubs stay there in Vegas I would be tempted to put a decent sum of money on the Under. I also think the Royals are undervalued, but not by a ton.
I dont see indians improving wins with no better off hitting than last year and Brantley out for awhile.
Like a local beat writer said they have made the moves for another 81 win season
A healthy Napoli should help, and Rajai Davis is certainly serviceable. I realize they didn't make a splash, but they have a great rotation. I can see them with more than 81 wins.
The Braves at 67? The under sounds pretty good there
Part of me would still like to see them move one of the young arms for a young right handed bat but it seems like theyre hoping to buy time until Clint Frazier is ready for the big leagues. And who knows what a full season of Lindor will do. Hopefully that helps out guys around him in the lineupur right...82

And you guys still have Bradley Zimmer right? I played against him in Georgia. He was very good.
yep, down the road from my house in AA Akron
We also gave you Kaminsky who I think will end up being a solid lefty. The Indians will be fine... It is Cleveland, it isn't like you are used to instant gratification anyway.
I'll just wait til SI or Peter Gammons predicts them to win the world series....again
