Indians Are ‘All In’ After Getting Josh Donaldson, 5 Questions About His Deal to Come to Cleveland

5. How Will The Indians Lineup Look with Donaldson?

From the moment that it was official that Donaldson was aboard with the Indians, fans have been giddy about what the Tribe’s lineup would look like once he gets to the MLB roster.

With a healthy Donaldson, it puts the Indians lineup clearly at a different level, as there’s no doubt that his power and ability could make the Tribe serious contenders to the Astros, Red Sox and Yankees in the AL.

Imagine this top Six with Donaldson in the mix:

1. Francisco Lindor
2. Michael Brantley
3. Jose Ramirez
4. Edwin Encarnacion
5. Josh Donaldson
6. Yonder Alonso

In a word – wow. That could be a lineup that could play with anyone in baseball, and if Donaldson can get that calf healthy and put up the numbers that he has in the past, the Indians World Series hopes and dreams might just be fulfilled in 2018 after all.
