Hey, I'm the first vote! Wahoo!

Apparently my 94 is low. Let's not get carried away!!

I voted 106-110, because once again 150+ was not an option.



I don't see any weaknesses in this team.

We add Encarnacion to an offense that had already ranked 2nd in the A.L. in runs scored. And we have Brantley back and Gomes healthy.

And we add Boone Logan to a bullpen that was already one of the best in the majors.

Kipnis injury drags on or Brantley has another set back ... we have a good young hitter in Yandy to fill in, much like Ramirez did last year for Brantley.

Carrasco's elbow problems persist or Bauer flakes out somehow or Tomlin starts getting shelled ... we have a very talented rotation in Columbus to draw from. Not just a guy or two, the entire damn rotation in Columbus has potential.

This team should be very very good this year. I don't think I'm being a homer expecting over 100 wins this year. I'm thinking about 110.

Alright, Civ, maybe I'm a little over-optimistic. But we are good. We won 94 games last year and should be better

Problems but a pitch ain't one.
Party like it's

I'll go with 97 assuming that the outfield will be at least equal to that of 2016. I think the outfield could be better with the return of Kipnis to second base, a full year of Abraham Almonte, and Yandy Diaz's move to the outfield.

a full year of Abraham Almonte, and Yandy Diaz's move to the outfield.

So who are your outfielders Joe? Brantley will be as near as everyday in Left as possible. You must be figuring that Naquin or Chisenhall or Guyer is traded? Not enough playing time for everyone otherwise.

Let's go #Tribe!!!! #CapsOn . I just don't see how they lose any games this year

.

Ah c'mon, Joe. We're bound to lose a few.

150+

I really do not think the Indians will have the Tigers number this year.

Well, the team is going to fall a bit shy of the 106 wins I predicted, but I am convinced if not for the unusual amount of injuries to key figures we would have reached that 106-110 mark. This team was put together with no weaknesses. And they still went out and got Bruce. Big tip of the cap to the front office and ownership. Now let's just hope we can stay hot in playoffs.
