Indians further back than most
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006Take one glance at the MLB standings and you’ll see that only the Cubs, Pirates, and Royals are the only teams further out of first place than the Cleveland Indians. Sure an argument can be made that the Indians play in the top-heavy AL Central with Detroit and Chicago - but those franchises have hardly been considered world-beaters until two seasons ago.
The last two months of 2005 appear to be nothing more than a fluke, a decent ballclub getting hot and climbing the standings only to return to form for the last week of the season. For the Indians to salvage anything from 2006, serious changes need to be made throughout the organization.
