if that actually happens to any real worthwhile extent, i'm not sure i've seen a better lineup (taking league factors into account) like i can't even process that...because right now i'm fairly confident in a certain level of competence at every position except 2B.

1990s Indians. The OBP was just disgusting, and still tons of power.

I guess I should've said for the long haul, not so much just this season. But the 94 and 95 Indians were outrageous. 840 runs in a shortened season in 95 and next highest was the Angels at 801.

Alright, just to throw out an answer, I'll say

 

because the pitching staff dominated. I wouldn't be surprised if Arrieta slid back a bit ... but in all honesty, gut feeling says by end of the year, we'll view him as our best starter, and that isn't meant as a negative. I think Lester will be good, and I think if we're in the thick of things mid-season, I think they'll go out and grab a starter, rather than depend on Hammel/Hendricks/?. Who is yet to be determined, but someone's going to be available. If they get another top starter, that'll be a dominant postseason trio to trot out there, so whatever ups and downs the lineup goes through, the pitching staff might get us through it.
