Well, you have my prediction for the Indians this year in the post below. Let's examine my predictions from last year and see how I did:
Cleveland Indians:
Record: 90-72 - Off by 10 gamers. ARRGH!!
MVP: Corey Kluber - I am OK with this one as no one stood out any more to me than Kluber although a case could be (and has been) made for Kipnis being the MVP.
Biggest surprise: Carlos Carrasco, Giovanny Urshela (tie) - Still OK with this one
Rookie of the year: Francisco Lindor and Giovanny Urshela (tie) - Lindor won this one clearly
Players making their major league debuts: Lindor, Urshela, Carlos Moncrief, James Ramsey, Shawn Armstrong, Cody Anderson - OK, so I blew up on Moncrief and Ramsey but 4 of 6 is not bad.
Farm teams:
Columbus: 80-64 - 83-61 pretty close
Akron: 70-74 - 73-69, relatively close
Lynchburg: 70-74 - 72-68 relatively close
Lake County: 64-80 - 71-66 way off
minor league MVP: Bradley Zimmer - Probably correct although others had good years, too
biggest surprise: Clint Frazier (his season will surprise even though he is a top-ranked prospect) - I think you could make a case for this one being correct, too. I don't know of anyone else who had a positive surprising season.
Ah, thus is the life of a predictor. Some good, some bad. Hope my Indians prediction below is good this year!
