2 games behind the 'Dream Team'
.5 Game ahead of the Sox.
I know it's incredibly early but I think it's warranted so I'll ask it anyway. Tribe Playoff worthy? Terrible first few games, but it appears they might be coming around. Will they be the first #2 Wild Card? Starting rotation I believe is worthy enough to get us there. Tribe batting? Getting there. Relief/Closers? Still have a lot to prove.
Thoughts?

I think the pen is gonna be OK.
All comes down to the starting pitching and keeping the lineup healthy.
Still looks and feels like a .500 team to me once the dust settles. Baseball is a funny sport though.

I think the SP is more of a question mark than the bullpen. The bullpen is solid and has ammunition in the minors.
Masterson's last too starts have been pretty dreadful and Jimi needs to show consistent control with his fastball. Until he does that he's going to struggle to get hitters out and pitch deep into games.
On Sunday he must have thrown on average 6 pitches to each batter in each at bat.
Lowe is looking reliable and solid and I like the tiny sample I've seen from Gomez. Our starting pitching needs to remain remarkably healthy.

After the first two series, some are running around like the sky is falling in, now they win 5 of 6 against two below average teams, albeit one win against a very good pitcher in a game that good teams find a way to win, and now some people are placing their folding chairs along Euclid. Some of you all make Delonte West look pretty even keel.

Can't remember if it was last year or the year before, where we were ranked in the top three, #1 at one point, in the power rankings. Tim Kurkijan even said we were the best all around team in baseball.....then our offense went to shit

As ridiculous as it was to talk playoffs last year when the Indians were 30-15 with more than 100 games to play, this thread makes that talk look like a Harvard dissertation.
