2010 Outlook
Reason for Excitement: The future is now as Matt LaPorta, Michael Brantley, Luis Valbuena, and Lou Marson all appear to have starting jobs.
Cause for Concern
Cleveland’s rotation should be one of the worst in baseball. Jake Westbrook is slated as their Opening Day starter, and with a career ERA of 4.31 and a career WHIP of 1.38, that isn’t something Indians fans should be happy about.
Bold Prediction
Jhonny Peralta hits a career-high 25 HR.
Projected Finish – 4th AL Central
Cleveland could actually have an impressive offense, and they have some solid relievers, but the rotation will be the anchor that drags them toward the bottom of the AL Central once again.
