The Cleveland Indians had a surprisingly successful 2014 under manager Terry Francona, finishing with a record over .500 and closely missing out on an AL Wild Card position. The turnaround started at the top of the rotation, with the 2014 AL Cy Young winner, Corey Kluber.
Kluber had a meteoric rise, appearing in only 12 games for the Indians in 2012, posting an 11-5 record in 2013, to the AL Cy Young award winner. The Indians look to build off his success with another Indians player who had a breakout year with his bat.
