April 21, 200520 yr QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 21, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) You predicted this? Several people predicted the Tribe would struggle offensively. The thought process was that too many of them had career years last year. Personally, I think they'll pull out of it and put up some respectable numbers by the time it's all over.

April 21, 200520 yr They lost their sparkplug in Vizquel. Peralta may be good one day, but Vizquel was the heart of that team. Offensively and defensively. They don't really have a veteran to lead them...and no Aaron Boone doesn't count.

He was like Derek Jeter, but in the NL. Juan Gonzalez is a great leader too...
April 22, 200520 yr Millwood? It's kind of silly to rip him with how solid he's been. I don't hat eto say I told you so but I thought they needed a veteran bat liek they had in Thome. I don't really buy the career year theory just becaus ethey wre really young. I still expect 80 or more wins out of the Tribe. Millwood, Sabathia, and Westbrook will be solid enough to help them compete. Westbrook has like 0.5 runs per start for support which has to go up
April 22, 200520 yr im a big westbrook fan and i feel sorry for him that he's stuck with this team... whats his contract situation? not like we'd ever go this route but still im just curious
