- Justin Masterson will compete for either the #1 or #2 spot on the staff.
- Ubaldo Jimenez will battle Masterson for the top spot in the rotation.
- After his impressive first season in Cleveland in 2011, Tomlin has earned the #3 spot.
- Lowe was brought in via trade with the Atlanta Braves to take the 5th spot in the rotation, with Fausto Carmona out of the picture for the forseeable future he will likely bump up to the #4 pitcher.
- As the only left hander in the mix, Huff projects well in his battle for the 5th spot in the rotation.
- Gomez probably has probably put together the best all around track record in an Indians uniform of the group competing for the 5th spot, but another right hander without overpowering stuff might see him start the season in Columbus.
- Kevin Slowey was acquired in a trade with the Colorado Rockies to provide quality depth for the rotation and compete for the 5th spot in the rotation.
- Young Zach McAllister rounds out the group currently competing for the 5th spot in the rotation this spring.
