New Indians general manger Mike Chernoff might be the man to build the Indians’ first World Series championship team since 1948.
Who knows?
I just wonder if Chernoff, who has been the assistant GM to new president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti the last five years, has himself fooled that the Indians as now constituted are good enough to be serious contenders.
We’re hearing some “what ifs?” about the Indians’ season, which they finished at 81-80, thanks to a mini-surge down the stretch. The prevailing sentiment within the Cleveland organization seems to be that if only a couple more things had gone the Indians’ way a little sooner, they might still be playing now; a worthy playoff team.
