You really think the Tigers miss the playoffs?

Probably not, but I think the division's closer than it has been the last few years and I don't see whoever comes in second getting a wild card.
 
 
 
And the whole Aumus/No Protection for Miggy/Questionable pitching staff could come back to bite us.

Hopefully Victor can do what he did when he backed up Miggy before. 
My biggest issue is Miggy might be the only player on the team who will hit 13+ homers.

Hopefully this whole stealing bases, moving runners over, maximizing run scoring opportunities shit catches on but I'm skeptical lol

Same. I think Ausmus will do well, but I'm just worried about our talent level in general.

They could've been better than the Tigers if they actually did something in the off-season lol.

We ain't got the monies.
 
The Indians offense underachieved last year IMO. Full season of Salazar will make up for the loss of Ubaldo. Masterson-Salazar-Kluber is a really strong 1-2-3. I THINK they'll be as good as last year, I think. But I am always wrong when it comes to the Indians. Said they'd compete 2 years ago, said they'd be awful last year

They'll be fine. Offseason was pretty underwhelming though.

I think they keep the division competitive. I could see them winning a wild card spot again.

Wasn't a lot for them to do, honestly. They could have spent money on a starter, but Masterson, Salazar and Kluber are all solidly locked in, in the rotation. They're dependable. McAllister is a good #4, and I'd rather give Carrasco or Bauer a chance at the 5th spot than overpay for a free agent. Bauer's delivery supposedly looks much better, but I'll believe that when I see it.
 
They're trying Carlos at 3rd this year so Yan Gomes can catch full time, so that will be interesting, but ultimately fail when him and Asdrubal watch every ground ball get by them.
 
Bullpen should be fine, although I hate the idea of handing Axford the closing job

The Mets decided to give it a try. I think I heard that anyway
