Cleveland Indians: Starting pitching is strong, but lacks depth

Pitching has been the strength of the Cleveland Indians for a long time. During the Tribe’s 2016 World Series run, most of the rotation was injured and the bulk of the workload fell on Corey Kluber, Josh Tomlin, and a drone-bitten Trevor Bauer. The bullpen made up for what it could but some of those guys are no longer in Cleveland.

There are some reinforcements on the way in Shane Bieber, who has been lights out so far this season, and top pitching prospect Triston McKenzie.
