The Cleveland Indians rebuilt their pitching core a little in the fresh tenure of Ethan Franklin. With the leaving of Alex Jones, Franklin brought in Mariners castaway Jarace Walker and ex-Twin free agent Angel Leon in two smooth, key moves. It quickly bolstered Franklin's credibility, but this pitching core still has a long way to go if they want to get through the top.

Chikin has been shopped recently showing little to no chance of him throwing a pitch for Cleveland, or anyone in the MLR. Foxconn is coming off of a likely PotS-caliber start, but gave up a truckload of runs to Milwaukee and doesn't look to be the ace the Indians hope he'll be. Walker has a PotS award (although it rightfully belonged to Ed Turner), but hasn't put up fantastic numbers since his amazing debut. The Indians have pieces here, but it is unclear how well they'll work, or if this is the type of rotation that can get them to the postseason.
