GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Indians pitchers and catchers report to Goodyear, Ariz., on Wednesday for the start of spring training. Like every team headed for Arizona or Florida, the Indians bring questions with them.

We'll address the Top 10 questions facing the Indians as they prepare for the 2015 season.

4. Will the bullpen show any wear and tear in 2015?

A. Manager Terry Francona used the bullpen an AL record 573 times last season. Bryan Shaw, Cody Allen, Marc Rzepczynski and Scott Atchison each made 70 or more appearances, another AL record.

In 2013, the bullpen made 538 appearances with Shaw, Allen and departed Joe Smith making 70 or more appearances.

Francona likes his bullpen and takes care of his relievers. While setting an AL record for appearances last season, they ranked third in innings pitched with 513 1/3, behind the Angels and Twins.

The Indians also work hard to limit relievers' number of pitches, make sure they don't pitch more than three days in a row and limit the times they warm up in the pen without getting into a game.

Still, Allen has made 153 appearances in the last two years, while Shaw has made 150, including an MLB-high 80 last year. With Allen starting his first full year as closer and Shaw his primary set-up man, they bear watching.

The Indians have brought in veteran relievers Scott Downs and Anthony Swarzak on minor league deals to see if they can help lighten the load. Lefty Bruce Chen, another veteran in camp on a minor league deal, is a starter by trade, but has seen plenty of time in the pen.
