Co-Aces?

Corey Kluber you must remember, is not a spring chicken as he was a late bloomer. On April 10th, he will turn 30 years old. Kluber is a very good pitcher for the Cleveland Indians but he is on the later side in his career.

Kluber slowed down some last year but it was not all of his fault as the offense struggled when he pitched. Also, the bullpen allowed some of his good work get away by blowing leads in the late innings.

The one Cleveland Indians pitcher who seems to be coming on is Carlos Carrasco! He was gathering momentum as the 2015 season went along.

Carrasco seemed to come of age so to speak and accumulate confidence as he went. He was really blossoming as the season came to an end.

So maybe both Kluber and Carrasco can feed off one another which could re-excite this fan base and the Cleveland Indians could make a run for the playoffs. If the offense can do better this year (they seem to have a stronger bench), they could surprise the fans!
