Indians Journal

The Indians may be close to breaking through as a preemptive strike, they locked up the guy who’s but running things for the team through 2012 in a big contract extension.   Mark Shapiro wants a ring and he now knows that the team is behind him long term.  Things didn’t start out all that hot for Shapiro (remember the Robbie Alomar trade) but you can’t be too unhappy with where the Indians are at right now.  A lot of people think they’re the team to beat in the Central.
