Description: Manager Manny Acta said Sunday that he believes Carrasco has earned a spot with the big club, stopping just short of anointing him a member of the rotation. | Insight: "I think Carrasco has done enough in Triple-A already," Acta told MLB.com. "And he pitched well enough for us last year in September that he's got a leg up on that [fourth] spot in the rotation. It's pretty safe to say that he's going to be one of those five guys." Acta did say that Carrasco -- or someone else -- could pitch his way out of the job, but the soon-to-be 23-year-old seems likely to win a spot. Carrasco went 2-2 with a 3.83 ERA in seven appearances late last season for the Indians. (RapidDraft.com) | | |
