Cleveland Indians fans likely view the Indians as the top team in the American League, and MLB writer Jonah Keri agreed in his first MLB power rankings of 2017, shared on SI.com.
The Indians come in at No. 3 overall on the list, but are the highest ranked AL team, two spots ahead of the Boston Red Sox, who come in at No. 5. The Chicago Cubs hold the top spot, followed by the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Here is part of what Keri had to say about the Indians:
Edwin Encarnacion should provide a solid numbers upgrade over departed team leader Mike Napoli.
