Pitchers and catchers reported this week and they still can't get anybody to even want to talk about the team.

Mark Shapiro is getting promoted for the awesome job he did with this team?!  He's been a great GM for the rest of the Central division maybe!  Even if all of those bullshit trades from last season work then that only makes him a good minor league GM and I doubt he's even that!

Team is a joke and is gonna keep being a joke.

Accuscore is the top sports forecasting site, like, ever.  They set over/unders for win totals for all of the MLB teams.  The Indians were last in baseball - projected at 67.3 wins.  Ugh.  Fortunately, though, we're in the AL Central so we actually have a better chance of making the playoffs than Pittsburgh and Toronto, even though they stand to win an extra game or two...we're projected with a 0.2% chance to win our division and make the postseason.

Go Tribe!

I doubt the Indians will be a joke, because I won't be laughing after most of their games. But, I see a lot of losses in this teams future. Shapiro is a good GM, but the owner is a cheap idiot.

Shapiro is overrated as a GM. I'll stop short of saying he's horrible - although I've said it in the past - just because it's hard to tell if he sucks that badly when he makes deals or if ownership just really has his feet to the fire and makes him take whatever sack of magic beans somebody offers.

Based on the Indians payroll, what's your guess? (I'd guess ownership.)

Also, I think we got more out of our trade of Cliff Lee than the Phillies did when trading him to Seattle.
