Make no mistake: Cleveland's offense isn't a fluke.
Led by a group of patient, powerful hitters up and down the lineup, the Indians enter the weekend first in MLB in OPS, second in runs, first in slugging, first in home runs, fifth in doubles and first in extra-base hits.
Led by the switch-hitting duo of Nick Swisher and Carlos Santana, the raw power of Mark Reynolds and the speed and athleticism of Michael Bourn and Michael Brantley, Francona is overseeing an offensive attack that hearkens back to his early days in Boston.
The names may not evoke reactions like "Manny" or "Papi" did in 2003, but the production speaks for itself.
If Cleveland can receive average to above-average starting pitching behind Justin Masterson, it'll remain in the AL Central race with Detroit all summer long.
