1. Cleveland Indians: As much as we’d like to avoid conventional thinking and take the Tigers first … we’re in lust with the Tribe this year. (How much? We even made sure to pick up Jensen Lewis as a backup closer for when Kerry Wood falls apart.) It’s the bats that impress us, and just as we think the Red Sox will be carried by their pitching, we think Cleveland’s hitting - led by Grady Sizemore, seen here hanging out with his Playboy Playmate girlfriend in Vegas this offseason - will propel it to the postseason despite a shaky rotation. Random prediction: Indians finish in the top five in OBP and OPS this year (they were 11th and 8th in 2008). We’ll guess 88 victories.
