Depending on whom you ask, the Cleveland Indians had a highly successful 2007 season. On one hand, the Indians won 96 games, won a division title for the first time since 2001, and advanced to the seventh game of the ALCS against the Boston Red Sox. However, the Indians blew a 3-1 game lead, one game away from the World Series, and were left to contemplate the epic meltdown during the offseason.
But this is not a team that makes excuses and dwells on the past. Despite making only minor moves during the offseason, the Indians are entering the 2008 season with a fresh attitude and determination to challenge what will most likely be the Detroit Tigers for the division title. Additionally, these minor moves have not hurt the Tribe’s chances as contenders, as the young core has remained intact for anther season.
There is a great chance that the Cleveland Indians can make the playoffs in 2008, but the path will undoubtedly be tougher this season. They are now the targeted team and, like everyone else, they are only a few injuries or slumps away from losing what should be a close race to the finish. General Manager Mark Shapiro has built a young, talented team that has already had a taste of the postseason. Look for them to build on that experience, learn from their mistakes, and get ready to make another run at the World Series.
