It's early, I guess I'd rather watch them come alive as the season grows and peak at the end.
But, can the pitching win enough games to keep us in it? Or will the pitching staff start to fall apart because of the pressure? Westbrook and Lee are so far untouchable, Carmona is tough and shows why we signed him for 7 yrs. CC has a history of doing poorly against the A's and Angels so his start is deceiving.... but how much is the contract year and his pushing to get the most out of free agency on his mind?
Lots of questions on the TRIBE not man answers yet.
The REDS though are staying alive, and young. They are going to be a surprise team this year. Still missing something but I think they could end up in the hunt and if they make the right move come trade time in July.... they may take the NL Central.
GOD SAVE THE OHIO TEAMS.

I wouldn't worry just yet. most of the AL teams the people expected to do well are struggling, whether it be the Tigers, Red Sox, Yankees or Indians. Most of the teams have at least one big hitter or pitcher who isn't hitting on all cylinders yet. It's still really early but there has to be some sense of urgency. It's true that championships aren't won in April, but they may be lost in April (Detroit?).
