Indians unlikely to win more than they lose this year
Chris Assenheimer argues the Tribe faces a tough 2004 season with a thin roster, loss of key pitchers and hitters, and stronger division rivals. He says expectations should be tempered as the Indians may be a year wiser but not substantially better than Minnesota, Chicago, or Kansas City, and struggle to post a winning record.

Sabathia Impresses In First Cactus Start With Indians
CC Sabathia pitched two innings in Cleveland’s 10-8 exhibition win over Detroit and said he felt ahead of schedule. He allowed two runs on three hits and hit a Carlos Pena homer, while noting his fastball jumped out of his hand and he is getting older. Sabathia highlighted leadership by example, aiming for a healthy season with 200 innings as a goal if healthy, and stressed a steady core as the Indians look to start April strong.
