With 3 Hall of Famers and one possibly to be in their starting rotation the Indians may have the best rotation in the American League. The hittng is almost just as impressive with a genuine balance of average and power. Looking for a weakness on this team is like finding a flaw in Marylyn Monroe, but if there is any it just may lie in the bullpen. In any case the Indians should be competing for a title.

Prediction: 1st
