Cleveland Indians recent news:

The Cleveland Indians seem to have quite a brilliant future up ahead as Cliff Lee has been called the 2008 comeback player of the year and this is not a title given because he got lucky but because of the fact that he has proven to be quite an effective pitcher, a pitcher who has literally to carry his struggling team on his shoulders and put them on a more favorable position.

As many of his teammates put it, they feel very comfortable about going into the off-season knowing that they have the top of the line pitcher backing them up and making things happen.
