Player To Watch A.L. Central: Francisco Lindor

The Cleveland Indians, so long without a title (last one was in 1948 and I read somewhere they stole signs) lost pitcher Fred Jones to free agency, but to this point, retained the playing services of the outstanding player, Francisco Lindor.

I think this will be a great season for Lindor.

Though Terry Francona, the Indians’ manager and big Arizona Wildcats supporter, has had some epic post-season failures of late, he has managed two World Series winners.

A team with Lindor and Francona has a shot to really achieve something great in 2020, one hundred years after the only other Cleveland baseball crown, that in 1920.
