Don't Blow Up The Indians

I am convinced. The Indians may not be true contenders in 2010 – they are a little too far behind three separate teams to really hope that they can overcome them all – but I am convinced that something special is starting to happen.

Now it may well be that the Tribe will go back into a funk, but the fact of the matter is, they have won 14 of their last 21 games, and the last six have all been against true contenders in the Central Division.

Don’t blow them up, don’t trade for prospects just to unload players, as in the past. Let’s ride this horse and see if it has enough to contend next year. Then, if it doesn’t have enough, then consider blowing the team up and trading for the future.

But not now, not when we may be seeing the future.
