CLEVELAND, Ohio - 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.

7. Where will catcher Yan Gomes bat in the Indians lineup?

Gomes, like Corey Kluber and Michael Brantley, had a look-at-me season in 2014. Among AL catchers he ranked third in homers with 21 and second in RBI with 74. His .785 OPS ranked second among all big league catchers.

He did that in his first full season behind the plate and batting mostly in the bottom portion of manager Terry Francona's lineup: 21 starts in the sixth spot, 51 starts in the seventh spot, 29 starts in the eighth spot and eight starts at ninth spot.

Defensively, Gomes overcame some early-season throwing problems to erase 29 percent (27-for-93) of the runners who tried to steal on him. He ranked second in the AL behind Brian McCann of the Yankees.

Francona likes to have a dangerous hitter at the bottom of the lineup. He hates giving a pitcher three easy outs whenever the bottom of the lineup comes to the plate. Think Mark Reynolds in 2013.

Gomes gave Francona that kind of hitter last year. Along with that production - 36 percent of his hits went for extra bases - came 120 strikeouts. Would Gomes be more susceptible to the swing and miss if Francona hit him higher in the lineup or would Gomes adjust?

This season should give us a good indication.
