MLB Preview: How the Cleveland Indians Will Improve in 2011

Last year, the Cleveland Indians finished second-to-last in the AL Central with a 69-93 record.  Considering how center fielder Grady Sizemore missed most of the season with a knee injury, along with the inconsistent pitching, that's still a pretty strong performance.

The answer is yes.  Let's look at the entire lineup and see how the team will improve from last year.
