2013: AL Central Champs (75-66)
Reid
Beat Red Sox ALDS, BEAT BREWERS ALCS, WS lose to STL lead week 1, caught week 2
2012: AL Central Champs (111-49)
Chad lose to NYY in ALCS

2011: AL Central Champs (92-70)
Finally, after two years of just missing the division title, the Indians won it in 2011.  They were behind the surprising Royals for much of the season.  However, Joey Votto was once again a major factor.  The Indians pitching staff was also one of the best.  It came to a quick ending in the ALDS when the overwhelming Yankees beat the Indians.

2010: 2nd in AL Central (86-76)
Chad was persistent in his efforts to shed veteran contracts he did not like, even if he acquired such players in his trades.  He sacrificed Grady Sizemore in order to get Joey Votto.  Following acquisitions netted the Indians Ryan Dempster, Ervin Santana, and Ian Kennedy.  Santana ended up being a 2nd half Cy Young for the Indians who fell just short of the division title. 

2009: 2nd in AL Central (79-83)
The AL Central in this league in 2009 was a losing division.  The 2009 real life Indians were a disappointing team, but the pathetic standings gave them a shot at the post-season.  The Indians actually pulled ahead of the Twins in the last week, but Minnesota beat them out in the last day of the regular season.  Meanwhile, GM Chad was behind the desk making moves that would put this franchise in a better position for the long haul.
