Time to reevaluate the Indians and, yes -- I said it -- the entire A.L. Central race.
The Tribe has two, arguably three, guys pitching halfway decently, and the steadiest run production in MLB.
They've closed to within 10 games of first in a few weeks, winning series from the Tigers, Twins, White Sox, and Seattle -- three of those series on the road -- and splitting with the Angels in Anaheim.
Seriously, whether you think they have a shot or not -- particularly as they get some attention and actual pressure, as we saw with the vaunted Nationals tonight -- it's a good handicapping question for the rest of the season.
I would think Texas pounds them on Wednesday with Hunter against Carmona -- perhaps a line to be taken advantage of. But then, three weeks ago I thought sure Jeremy Sowers would get shelled in Seattle.... It never happened.
