The Cleveland Indians have named Cliff Lee the #5 starter in the pitching rotation. Lee didn’t have the best spring training but outpitched Aaron Laffey and Jeremy Sowers.
After Lee was named the 5th starter, Laffey and Sowers were told they will begin the season in Triple-A.
Lee will have to prove that he can hold down the #5 spot all season long. If he struggles in his three or four games, I can see the Indians making a movie and bringing up Laffey or Sowers to replace him.
