Cleveland Indians (MLB Rank 15, Grade B-)

Bowden says:

"The Indians had a quiet offseason, but their acquisition of Moss could make it loud if he can return to the form he showed in the first half of 2014. Moss’ left-handed power bat should really help lengthen the Indians’ lineup."

We say: Brandon Moss is no doubt a solid addition for the Indians, but which version of him they get still remains a question. Michael Brantley is going to regress, and the addition of Moss should lessen the blow. The Indians still remain a team with a lot of intrigue and their 2015 could swing either way.
