MLB Frontrunners: Time to Switch Teams

Ah, the Cleveland Indians. I refer to them as the VCU Rams of the MLB: a great Cinderella team, but all good things come to an end. In their last 10 games, the Tribe is 2-8.

Their offense has been the main downside, only Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana (somewhat) are producing.  They now have no batters over .300 (except for Travis Hafner who has only played in 32 contests). Shin Soo Choo is slumping big time and Grady Sizemore hasn't showed up after being activated from the disabled list.

Since starting the season 4-0 on May 6th, Justin Masterson is now 0-4 and his ERA has jumped from 2.15 to 3.18. Other than Masterson and Carmona, their pitching woes aren't to serious.  Chris Perez and 26-year-old Josh Tomlin have been phenomenal.

Frontrunners, time to switch teams!
