Over the past few seasons, fans of the Cleveland Indians have been fortunate to watch a contending team. Sure, the team has only made the playoffs once over the course of three seasons, but the Indians have ended the season above .500 each year. 2015 capped these three exciting years, as many expected the Cleveland Indians to win the American League Central crown. Sports Illustrated even went so far as to predict the Tribe as World Series winners.
This said, the team is getting older. While this means experience and improvement for many, it also means regression for others.
