Nothing should make an Indians fan more nervous....

More than fresh hype that this is the year! We heard it last year and I bought into it. Then the season started and the Tribe imploded. My big hope was to start the season unheralded but more and more the whispers are coming out....this could be the year. Now an article on ESPN.com right before the season opens titled Basic logic points to Indians being better, which suggests that the Indians are poised to be this years Tigers. The bullpen is better. The defense is supposed to be better. Hafner, Sizemore, Martinez are all back. The addition of Josh Barfield, a great young second baseman who is coming from a pitchers park to a hitters park is going to be huge. Sabathia and Westbrook looked good all spring. Sowers is coming up full time. Perhaps one of the best pitchers in baseball, Adam Miller, is waiting in the wings in Buffalo after failing to surrender a run in Spring. All the signs point to this being the Tribes year. And that scares me! Curse you Jayson Stark!
