Building the worst rotation in Cleveland Indians history

The history of the Cleveland Indians is rich with legendary pitching. From Bob Feller and Addie Joss to a recent run of Cy Young winners in CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee, and Corey Kluber, it’s been the backbone of any success the Indians have ever had. But it hasn’t always been good. Many times, it’s been damn hideous.

There have been 315 player seasons where a pitcher has started 25 or more games for the Indians. Many were sufficiently average, quite a few were amazing, and several were dreadful. The Indians could put quite the Rotation of Horrors together out of those dreadful ones, perhaps bad enough to lose 140 games if they got the chance.
