    If you go by the projected preseason rotation it's easily Cliff Lee of the Indians.

    1. C.C. Sabathia 1-4 7.88

    2. Fausto Carmona 3-1 2.60

    3. Jake Westbrook 1-2 2.73 (currently on the DL)

    4. Paul Byrd 1-2 4.85

    5. Cliff Lee 5-0 0.96

    Source(s): From 3/24/2008. Cleveland left-hander Cliff Lee beat out Aaron Laffey and Jeremy Sowers for the final spot in the Indian's rotation on Monday. Lee, demoted to the minors last season, pitched five scoreless innings Saturday against the New York Mets. http://www.wikio.com/sports/baseball/mlb/mlb_playe...
