I am really nervous about a line-up that features Andy Marte at third, Jhonny Peralta at short, Blake in left, Gutierrez in right, and Garko at first. Too many guys with high strikeouts and below average walk ratios, and I'm leaving out Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner specficially because they do get substantial walks to go along with their high strikeout totals.

Because Choo won't be ready until after the season starts, the Indians are content to go after Raul Ibanez, meanwhile, Dellucci, Michaels, and Blake loom in the background.

wow.
