Hart takes over a team that has finished in last place for two straight years, even after spend ing $252 million on shortstop Alex Rodriguez. “There’s a core and a nucle us of quality players that are in place,” Hart said. “With the proper leadership, proper tweaking of personnel, 1 don't think this is a club that’s far away from contending.” The 53-year-old Hart spent 10 seasons with the Indians, who made the playoffs six of the last seven years and reached the World Series in 1995 and 1997. Before Hart came. Cleveland's last postseason appearance was in 1954. Hicks fired GM Doug Melvin on Oct. 7, ending a seven-year run that included the only three division champi onships in team history. “This club can contend if the right things happen, but the real focus on this is that we become perennial contenders,” Hart said. “If that starts to happen next season, that’s fabulous.” Hart had announced during the first week of the season that he was leaving as Cleveland’s GM on Nov. 1. Another contender was assis tant GM Dan O’Brien. He’ll remain in that position, oversee ing baseball operations.
