Tribe in the Central

Chicago Tribune

Cleveland Indians
Pick: 1st, 93-69.
Plus-minus*: -3.


"The Indians don't have the division's best firepower, but they do have the best balance—sixth in runs scored, third in runs allowed in 2007—and all the pieces are back. There is a ton of pitching depth behind C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona, who combined to go 38-15 last year. The rotation is seven deep and the bullpen has great arms in Rafael Betancourt, Jensen Lewis and Rafael Perez. After pitching well in Game 7 of the ALCS, Jake Westbrook has looked ready to take a major step forward this season."
