But with Justin Verlander injured and Springer off to Toronto, it seemed like itd be easy to say this was the end of an era, especially if you only looked at 29-31 last year and not came within a game of the World Series. But, we figured, there was plenty of reason to believe theyd get more from Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa, and Yordan Alvarez and Michael Brantley would be back, and even if the rotation depth was thin, Framber Valdez looked like a breakout star, and a top four of him, Zack Greinke, Jos Urquidy and Lance McCullers Jr. would be pretty good.

That doesn't mean they're going to be good, really, because they're projected to finish last in the AL Central, as they have three times in the last four years. No, you probably wouldn't bet on Kluber and Taillon to each stay healthy for 30 starts and 180 innings, but the staff isn't set up depending on them to be, either; right-now, depth aside, do remember that Luis Severino ought to be available later this summer.
