The Gavin Floyd Experiment

In my last post I had mentioned the Indians need Gavin Floyd to pitch well in the starting rotation. Well another arm injury and he is done for the year. That means the rotation that finished the second half of 2014 will be back. Danny Salazar will likely get the fifth spot regardless of how he does the rest of spring training.

The team can not afford to have any of its remaining pitchers go down with an injury. If that happens its Josh Tomlin and or Bruce Chen. As I write Shawn Marcum is bidding to make the team. Another Scott Kazmir? We will see.

He will probably start the season at Columbus but what about Francisco Lindor? Is he ready now? Your comments please!
