Rival Zips (Cleveland Indians)
Wow what a difference a year makes......
Important off season for the Tribe as they attempt to "fill" certain holes. No doubt that talent still exist for the mistake by the lake but I think the point remains that the Central is very much a winnable division and even if trimming payroll is part of the plan, KW has to feel pretty decent.
Man I just wish we had gotten more for Swisher or not given up on him yet.

They aren't missing that many position players from what I see
They’re short a 2B, 1B and DH unless Hafner figures himself out. Those aren’t the worst holes to have to fill. ZiPS doesn’t do the best job of turning its projections into runs and wins, particularly with defense. Between Sizemore, Gutz and Choo, that could be two wins in the outfield, while Cabrera is at least average I’d guess at short.
Pitching is the issue.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
