Cleveland Guardians

Carlos Carrasco (RHP, CLE) cracked the Opening Day rotation and was mediocre in his first start, when he allowed 3 ER in 5 IP against Oakland. His average fastball velocity was down nearly two full ticks from last year, which leaves little reason to buy into a bounce back season.
