FACTS/FLUKES: Kluber, Kipnis, Pedroia, Buchholz, Semien
May 3 2015
Kluber's slow start won't last long ... Widely thought to be a breakout candidate entering 2014, Corey Kluber (RHP, CLE) exploded to the tune of a 2.44 ERA with 269 strikeouts en route to a Cy Young award. Kluber was rewarded in drafts as a rotation anchor entering 2015, but the results haven't been there (4.62 ERA, 1.36 WHIP through six starts). Should we be concerned?
