Starting Pitching
Corey Kluber
Carlos Carrasco
Danny Salazar
Josh Tomlin
Trevor Bauer
Last season it was considered to be a strength going into the season, but injuries along the way hindered this unit big time, but a healthy unit in 2017 should help the team be right back at the top of the AL Central.
The Indians have worked hard to ensure that they have the type of starting rotation that can win a title, and with Kluber who wrapped up another amazing season and finished third in the Cy Young voting, it’s tough to think of a starting five better when healthy.
Four of the five starters in this rotation are 30 or under, and Tomlin is the ‘elder statesman’ and he’s just 32. Look for some bumps along the way, but it’s hard to think of one of these guys not being in the starting five opening day based on 2016.
