The early spring weather has really put me in the mood for baseball, so I'm looking forward to the Indians starting three weeks from today. Say what you will about the talent (or lack thereof), I love me some baseball and I love me some Indians.

Get ready for the season by re-reading @jitribeinsider's series on the 10 most important Indians for a successful 2012 season (accompanied by slideshows put together by yours truly).
