AL Central Preview: Cleveland Indians

The Cleveland Indians, I predict, will finish third in the AL Central this year. They will have to ride the shoulders of Travis Hafner and Grady Sizemore if they want to finish second of first in their division. Cliff Lee will have to have more wins as well.

Keep and Eye on: Kerry Wood, RP
Kerry Wood is a new addition to the Indians bullpen and will become the closer for the team. Last year on the Cubs, Wood had 34 saves and a 3.26 ERA.
