Bryan Shaw is easy to take for granted. He's a reliever, but not a closer. He doesn't have a big arm and can't light up the radar gun with upper 90's fastballs. His off-speed pitches are solid, but not spectacular or full of crazy movement. He doesn't even show a ton of personality on the mound, so don't expect angry glares toward the plate or imaginary arrows flying into the sky.
However, Shaw is dependable and the Indians have absolutely been lucky to have him these last three years.
Shaw was acquired in December 2012 from the Arizona Diamondbacks and spent the 2013 season pitching mostly in the 6th and 7th innings for the Tribe.
