10 Things that need to happen for the Indians to have a "decent" season:

1. Veterans Grady Sizemore, Jhonny Peralta, and Travis Hafner all need to bounce back from injuries and sub par seasons.
2. They need to sign 3 free agents: a backup veteran catcher, a veteran utility infielder, and a veteran starter that can eat up innings a la Dave Burba.
3. They need to develop the young staff over the course of the season and can't let guys like Luis Valbuena and Matt Laporta turn into the next Kelly Shoppach.
4. They need put Justin Masterson in the bullpen.
5. They need to make a decision on Fausto Carmona and Jeremy Sowers. Sowers could be a great long inning reliever but his days as a starter are numbered. Carmona is a complete mystery.
6. Play everyone at one position. With Wedge gone this shouldn't be an issue. (Never again will I watch the Indians get swept in a 3 game series in Milwaukee with Eduardo Perez as the starting rightfielder.)
7. Use Kerry Wood as much as possible in relief situations and hope you can trade him during the All-Star break.
8. Give Andy Marte a chance before making a decision on him, I would hate to see him perform well with another team. Again this is something that may already be taken care of with the removal of Wedge.
9. Decide quickly if C Lou Marson, P Carlos Carrasco, and IF Jason Donald are major league ball players. Given all the other question marks on the roster this it not the best environment for unproven talent to "settle in".
10. Put a lineup together in Spring Training and use it once the season starts. No more 162 lineups for 162 games.
