The Cleveland Indians time at Progressive Field could be a good time in 2012, perhaps that kind of a time that lands this roster in the MLB playoffs. Maybe that would not be the case in the AL East, but in the AL Central this is quite a believable statement. The Indians tickets for the new season schedule are available here at the TicketSpecialists.

Could Derek Lowe really be the final piece to the starting rotation? Could Casey Kotchman be the right kind of catalyst for the Indians underperforming offense? General Manager Chris Antonetti certainly has to hope they are. Lowe joins Justin Masterson, Ubaldo Jimenez, and Josh Tomlin. Masterson had a great year last season, Jimenez was once a potential ace, and Tomlin may an unexpected gem after last season.
Kotchman replaces Matt LaPorta, the first baseman who has failed to justify the trade with the Yankees (yes, Sabathia was going, but perhaps they could have gotten something more than a .240 hitter who can barely break double digits in the home run department). Instead, it will be up to Shin-Soo Choo and Grady Sizemore to drive the offense. Choo and Sizemore are potential .300 and 30-plus home run hitters. Maybe Michael Bradley could do a little more than hit .266 and 7 home runs. Add Travis Hafner to the list of potential offensive saviors and there is the opportunity that the Indians could sneak ahead of the Tigers.
The TicketSpecialists have the Cleveland Indians baseball tickets for the 2012 season schedule at Progressive Field. Enjoy amazing seats for cheap to follow the team during the summer to see if this is indeed a solid pitching staff and to see if any of these offensive pieces come through.
