This would be a nice start considering many have the White Sox winning the division. How bout the "young" Tribe?

On a thread weeks ago, I had the Indians winning 76 games. This was by far the most, as most ppl predicted between 60-68.

I am a bit ashamed to say that I am surprised by this team so far. Carmona and Masterson have looked decent, and the speed on this team could cause some problems for opponents this year. Just imagine if Hafner and Choo learn how to hit!

76 wins picked was the most, while most were from 60-68? This is the sort of information that should be saved, so if the team has the poor year most people predicted and a certain someone pops up to deliver his annual self-congratulatory "I knew how things would be while you all were too blind to see" speech, this can immediately be tossed into his face as a rebuttal.

I'm not getting too giddy just yet. The ghost of Eric Wedge is lurking out there somewhere.

I'm still sticking with the Cavs having more regular season (not counting playoffs) wins than the Tribe. Really hope I'll have to eat some crow (not Raven...I don't want the runs) on that one.

Unfair rap on Choo. Choo is the tribe's best all around player.

I said before the year the talent is there to win 80+ games. I have a ton of faith, especially in our lord and savior Lonnie Chisenhall. I've been on his nuts since he started out with the Scrappers when I worked for them. I literally would stop vending during each of his at bats turn around and just watch. The kid CAN RIP. Hopefully he'll get called up as our third baseman of the future soon.

I didn't predict total wins, but 76 is too low. IMO
