As we crawl ever closer to pitchers and catchers reporting to Spring Training in Goodyear, Arizona, Cleveland Indians fans are getting even more excited for the upcoming season. This excitement reached a climax with the blockbuster signing of free agent slugger Edwin Encarnacion.
With one of the best starting rotations in the game and a bullpen that showed last season that it is reliable in even the toughest of situations, the Indians seemed prime for playoff runs for the next three-to-four years. But with the addition of Encarnacion to a lineup that already features many reliable bats such as Jason Kipnis, Francisco Lindor and Carlos Santana, the Indians could flirt with 100 wins for the first time since 1995.
